....
I put my glasses and keys in there to test how it would behave while driving.
....

You do know you put that "pad" with your glasses right over the passenger airbag?

Moreover: You are quite aware that these items will blow up most likely into your passenger's face and possibly into yours?

Sorry, I'm just asking a stupid question...

So the passenger airbag is placed lower. And it was just a test. Now the pad is in the middle.
Why should "these items will blow"? Because of the airbag? 
Can I also ask: how many times has your airbag blow?
Airbag blow in an accident - then it "blows everything away"...

You're looking for a problem where there isn't one. I'm not forcing you to buy that mat....

You are right: I'm a "prepper" (I even worry about things that - hopefully! - may never happen)

In all of my 45+ years of motoring I have (luckily!) never been involved in a severe road accident (fingers crossed, this good fortune will hold!) and you are right again: My airbags have never blown!

I only wish, you will never have to sadly remember this post in your future!

All the best!

P.S. The passenger airbag is right there! - Just consult your dealership - or the fine manual - or even: trust your own eyes (the "blow area" is visible to the avid eye...)

I actually thought of airbag deployment when I saw that white box on the glovebox lid

These days with multiple airbags you really have to be careful
Let's be careful out there !

You need to look in the manual where the airbags are located. Furthermore, they are also marked in the vehicle with the following inscription: “SRS AIRBAG”.
And the airbag certainly doesn't fire from the glovebox lid.

But as I write, there's no need to make a "camel out of a gnat". I couldn't even get in the car and drive - because I'm constantly threatened with (any) danger.

The post was only about the "stupid" mat. You don't want it, you're not interested? OK, no problem. I'm not forcing it on you.  ;)

I didn't say the airbag came out of the lid ...... I just said it made me think

Very similar to photos I've seen of some putting seat covers completely over the seats when some seats now contain airbags
Let's be careful out there !

I agree with Coldstart.

  The airbag is not precisely where the "SRS Airbag" logo is located.
.  If you look carefully at the dashtop in certain lights ,with the sun  at the right angle ,you can see a feint outline of where the covering material is thinner to allow the airblag to 'blow'  .    It is a rectangle area almost exactly the size and place where you have placed your  chequered   non slip tray.

Airbags deploy with explosive force .Anything in the way  ,,such as keys, sunglasses, a mobile phone etc . will be blown at explosive force  towards the person the airbag is intended to protect. If these hard  objects  hit you in the face they can cause serious injury, blindness or death.    As someone pointed out on another post  the recent "do not drive" recall by Citroen  was because someone had been killed by 'shrapnel' from an airbag.   It does happen.    Babies in baby seats have died because they were  themselves   propelled by an airbag.    Thats why you can switch them off.

It may never happen to you, but why take chances? . Or at least position the tray somewhere else.

I wonder how many accident reports have had 'had to remove solar powered hula girl from forehead' in them.

I was thinking more of those with full seat covers, always record the inside cabin so you could send the clip to YBF and get £250 towards recovery

I recommend starting a thread about airbags. This thread is about something completely different...

But if someone shows an accessory ,or something they do , that some of us  think is potentially dangerous ,( because of air bags or another reason) it best express our concern on that same thread . 
 Please dont see it as a personal insult. We all do things others will, rightly or wrongly,  regard as dangerous .If after reflection you decide its safe enough and we are over reacting thats your choice - But only while you are the front seat passenger  . They are the one at potential risk, not the driver.

I’ve just added a micro towel by Danish Endurance. 60cm x 120cm. It cost me £7 from Amazon. This is in the compartment under the boot floor with everything else

After collecting winkles today I used the micro towel to wash my hands afterwards so I didn’t have dirty hands on the steering wheel and it worked a treat

Does anyone use roof racks? I don't mean the expensive original ones from Honda. Which ones are good? And possibly lockable? I found e.g. Thule, Hakr, Menabo...

I bought this one, it holds very firmly (it has a kind of self-adhesive suction cup), it has a joint, and can be adjusted to different positions.
