A new study in the U.K. revealed that a car's steering wheel about than nine times dirtier than public toilets. Nine times? Well, while 80 bacteria were found on each square inch of toilet, around 700 bacteria were found in the interior of a car, especially on the steering wheel, gear stick and back seats. The study also found that 42 percent of drivers often eat meals while driving (I'm guilty of that). Apparently many people don't clean their cars often.
According to Ron Cutler, director of biomedical science at Queen Mary University, London, “most people clean their homes but many are neglecting to clean their cars and are driving around in vehicles which resemble a rubbish bin.” “While most of the bacteria were unlikely to cause health problems, some cars were found to play host to a number of potentially harmful bacterial species".
People sure are dirty.....
