It is also very dangerous for tall people. Such type of rack is not suitable for use in a small size family car. In the small size car, the television is typically in the form of a liquid crystal display embedded in the middle of the dashboard. Therefore, it is not convenient for the passengers in the back seats to watch. Further, mirrors have been commonly f...
