Driving experts have issued a grave warning to motorists about the dangers of wearing a certain hair accessory behind the wheel.Putting your hair in a plastic claw clip is a popular style choice, as it requires almost no effort and is a great way to hide locks that haven't been washed in a few days.But wearing one whilst in a vehicle could result in a devastating injury if you get into an accident, as university student Jeena Panesar recently shared her horrific story about her collision earlier this year.

Following this, the driving experts at Scrap Car Comparison are warning motorists to remove everyday accessories and items - from lanyards and handbags to hair claw clips - before getting behind the wheel, in order to reduce the chance of injuries should they happen to be involved in an accident.

Thanks to TikTok, the popular 90s updo hairstyle of wearing a claw clip has seen a massive resurgence in popularity, with over 500 million views on TikTok for tutorials on how to wear the hairstyle.

But wearing the accessory behind the wheel could significantly increase the risk of injury if drivers were to be involved in a collision, warns the motoring experts.
