The steering wheel of your vehicle is 19 times dirty from a toilet seat, according to a new study by the insurance company Ageas, which looked at how dirty our cars are and came to hard conclusions. A large number of bacteria may be found on the steering wheel, the handles and the trunk of the vehicle, with the latter in place. The dirtiest in the car.The study found that the average car is home to more than 3,826 bacterial units per inch.

One of the most common types of bacteria found in 80 percent of all vehicles is the pseudomonas aruginosis bacterium, which can cause skin rashes and respiratory infections. Fecal streptococcus bacteria are also present in one of every 14 vehicles tested with an average of 1,700 bacterial units. One of the most common causes of food poisoning - the bacterium in cilius craus - is most often found in young parents' cars, usually in the cup holder and in the child seat in the vehicle.

As we mentioned, the trunk in the car is the dirtiest place, which has 4 times more bacteria than the buttons in the elevator. This is probably due to the fact that it is a place that is barely cleaned. Next you will find the passenger seat (counting 1,200 bacteria), cup holder (616) and steering wheel (612). SUVs are the dirtiest vehicle type with more than 4,710 bacteria. After them you will find the hatchback, super mini cars and sports cars.
