When you drive, you often leave drinks, medicines, electronic devices, etc. in your car because it's annoying. But this habit is bad for both health and safety. Storage in the car must be avoided because it can lead to problems such as deterioration, damage, and theft. Things that were usually considered insignificant can be an unexpected risk factor.
Lighter and auxiliary battery
Products such as lighters, auxiliary batteries, and e-cigarettes are sensitive to temperature changes regardless of the season. If the temperature rises inside an enclosed vehicle, internal pressure can rise and explode. In particular, it is dangerous to put it on a sunny seat, so it is necessary to take it out of the vehicle.
drinks and canned drinks
Drinks in plastic bottles or cans can explode as internal pressure rises if heated by the sun during the day even in autumn. Degraded drinks are also dangerous to drink, and the contents can leak out and contaminate the interior of the vehicle. You must bring down any leftover drinks.
Medicines and cosmetics
Drugs and cosmetics are sensitive to temperature and light, so the ingredients easily deteriorate when placed in a vehicle. Even in autumn, the inside of the vehicle is heated during the day, which can lead to poor effectiveness or skin problems. In particular, drugs such as insulin need to be refrigerated, so vehicle storage is absolutely prohibited.
Electronic devices
If electronic devices such as laptops, cameras, and mobile phones are left in the car, battery damage or circuit abnormalities may occur due to temperature changes. It also increases the risk of theft when seen from the outside. It is safe to carry electronic devices.
food and drink
Food left in the car and forgotten is quickly decomposed even in autumn. It's easy to be relieved that the temperature has dropped, but the inside of the sun-exposed vehicle is still warm and can go bad quickly. It is a cause of odor and bacterial propagation, so you must take it home.
pets and children
Most importantly, it is a part that is directly connected to life. Even in autumn, the air inside the vehicle quickly becomes cloudy and the temperature rises, which can be dangerous to pets and children. Leaving it as a moment can be fatal, so it should never be left unattended.
The interior of the vehicle is not a convenient storage space. It should always be remembered that a small carelessness can lead to a big accident. Lighters, auxiliary batteries, medications, and food must be taken out of the vehicle, and pets and children must not be left for a moment.The principle that does not change even when the seasons change is 'In the car, it is not a storage box'. From now on, let's check the habits of managing things in the car and create a safe driving environment.
