When driving, where do you put your handbag?

[dazedandblue]

Just because I’m utterly curious, when you’re driving, where do you put your handbag?

If no one is in the front passenger seat, I put it there.

Currently, if someone is sitting in the front passenger seat I put it on the back seat, phone on the little tray thing in the middle front under the dash. The bag doesn’t fit in the middle arm rest divider (handbag is small, divider is smaller).

Where do you put yours?

Mine's that heavy it sets the seatbelt alarm off, if I leave it on the passenger seat.
So I put it under the brake pedal instead .

Behind the drivers seat or in the boot. Not just to prevent it being snatched but for safety in case of an accident - I have no desire to sustain a head injury from my thermos if I'm in an accident.

I also drive with the doors locked, I was the victim of a road rage attack when the perpetrator tried to force my door and I only just got it locked in time. Doors open automatically from the inside when I want to get out (and I have a window hammer thing just in case).

I don't have a car now, but when I did I used to just fling everything onto the back seat, - bag, coat, dog, daughter, whatever.

Passenger seat if it's not occupied, previously passenger floor if it was (any passengers can put up with a small bag if they want me to give them a lift), but since getting an electric car there's a handy small shelf on the central console below where the gear stick would be on a manual car so I sue that.

Passenger seat if empty, floor if not.
If the bag is expensive or passenger is my partner I make them hold it. 😄
Big bag would go on back seat.
