Probably every car has handles above the passenger seats.

And in some cars, a corresponding device can be found above the driver's door.

It is quite clear why a passenger needs a handle: so that there is something to hold on to during sharp maneuvers.

And why does the driver need the above-mentioned device? After all, he holds the steering wheel. Moreover, he must put both palms on the steering wheel.

Why does a driver need a pen?

It turns out that this thing may be needed by a person who drives a vehicle.

Thus, the handle will be very useful for a motorist who finds it difficult to sit in the driver's seat or get out of the car without grabbing onto something.

The device will certainly be useful for an elderly driver or a driver who is overweight.

The handle also helps truck drivers who have to climb into the cab.

In addition, the driver's handle can act as a "stand" for glasses.

It is also worth emphasizing that many manufacturers install a handle above the driver's door not to make life easier for the driver.

There is an explanation: it is more profitable to install the corresponding element above all seats than to make serious changes to the production process and leave an empty space above the driver's seat.
