De ce pun șoferii un prosop alb pe volan vara? Motivul real pentru acest gest. Nu te-ai fi gândit la asta • Newsweek România

Drivers often place a white towel on the steering wheel during hot summer days to prevent it from overheating. This simple trick helps reflect sunlight, keeping the steering wheel cooler than if it were exposed directly to the sun. Dark surfaces absorb more heat, while lighter colors reflect it. Although the towel does not cool the car's interior, it provides a quick solution to avoid touching a hot steering wheel. For better temperature control inside the vehicle, additional measures like shading and using sunshades are recommended.
