What things should not be left in the car overnight in winter

As the weather gets colder, it's worth remembering that some things should never be left in the car overnight. When the temperature drops below freezing, these tools and products can be damaged and even become dangerous.

So, in winter, the driver should make sure that the car has all the essentials. These include antifreeze, a first aid kit, a snow shovel, thermal blankets, a flashlight, an ice scraper, etc. However, there are also things that can be useful in a car, but they should never be left in the car if it will be in the cold for several hours.

Medicines

Some medications can deteriorate in low temperatures. For example, this applies to insulin. Many medications lose their effectiveness if left in freezing conditions for a long time.

Electronics

Do not leave electronics in a cooled car overnight. The batteries in the devices may turn off or not work at all.

Canned food and liquids

Containers of liquids (such as soda cans or water bottles) can explode in the cold. This is because liquids expand when they freeze. The same applies to cans of food, and a similar reaction is likely.

Musical instruments

Be especially careful with wooden instruments. There is a danger that they will crack and break in low temperatures.

Eggs

An unpleasant situation can happen if you leave eggs in a cold machine for a long time. When the temperature drops below freezing, they can crack and spill, making a mess.
