cannot be thrown around. Secure objects,
luggage or loads by, for example, lashing
them down to prevent them from slipping or
tipping over, even if you use the trunk
cover.

an accident The luggage net bag:
Rserves to hold small, light objects
Rprevents smaller objects from slipping
within the vehicle interior
