The sudden drop in temperature can freeze our bones-they can even damage the items we leave in the car

With the advent of cold weather, it is important to ensure that you stay safe in the cold.

But experts also warn people that as the temperature drops, they should be extra careful with their belongings.

Colder temperatures may make our bones become old-they can even damage the things we leave in the car.

Mark Barclay from GFS Car parts said: "As the weather gets cold, we should be careful not to leave anything in our car.

"Electronic equipment, instruments, such as mobile phones and laptops, and any pressurized items (such as aerosols and canned food) should also be brought indoors.

"However, it is also important to remember what you should put in the car. When driving in cold conditions, carry a'winter car kit' with you.

"This should include cell phone chargers or battery packs (which can be safely stored in a mobile, warm car), ice scrapers and de-icers.

"Sunglasses are also a good choice in the harsh winter sun, but once the car gets cold after the engine is turned off, please bring them indoors to prevent cracking.

"Finally, drive an empty fuel tank in winter.

"In this way, if you run out of gasoline, you can walk to the nearest garage and fill up your car. By taking some simple measures to bring things in before damage, you can have a safe Had a great time on the road."

GFS Car Parts lists five items that you should not leave in the car during the severe cold.

If you have an iPhone, you are likely to see the temperature screen during the heat wave at some point.

This is because smartphones, tablets, laptops, and PCs all have an ambient temperature range that allows them to perform optimally.

Most Apple devices work optimally when the ambient temperature is between 0 and 35 degrees Celsius-for reference, the average temperature of our body is 37 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, if you leave your phone or computer in the car and the temperature outside the car drops below zero, you may experience problems such as shortened battery life or even shutting down the device.

The best way to avoid this situation is to only put electronic devices in the car when you are using it, because it will be warmer in the car.

Take your work laptop, cell phone and any other equipment with you when you get out of the car.

If you take any conventional medicines, these medicines should be carried with you and not left in the car.

Many drugs do not necessarily become harmful when stored at lower temperatures, but it is difficult to assess whether they will work as expected.

However, as far as insulin is concerned, the impact is even greater.

Unopened insulin vials should be stored in the refrigerator, and opened vials should be stored at room temperature. However, if insulin freezes, it will become ineffective and will not lower your blood sugar as it should.

Therefore, if you take insulin, please bring it into your body. Once it is frozen, do not use it even if it is thawed.

Some people also report that injecting frozen insulin can be painful, so even if the temperature does not drop to the freezing point, it still affects the drug.

You may not realize it, but extreme hot or cold weather can have a considerable impact on any aerosol product.

If they become too cold, they will become unstable or even explode.

Therefore, when you get home, be sure to take any aerosol deodorant or hair tape out of the car.

The same is true for canned food.

The water used to preserve canned food swells in cold weather, causing the can to explode as the pressure increases.

These items should not be stored in garages or sheds, as both places will be affected by the same temperature drop as the car.

Instead, store these items in the kitchen and keep them at room temperature.

If you play musical instruments made of wood, you probably already know that the ambient temperature will affect them.

Colder temperatures will shrink the wood, which is why in winter, you often find that the guitar, violin or cello tends to go out of tune as the instrument gets cold.

However, leaving these instruments in the car in cold weather can cause the wood to crack, so it is definitely worth bringing them indoors after a performance, practice or improvisation.

Store them away from the radiator so that their surrounding environment will not be affected by extreme changes in cold or heat.

A half-empty fuel tank

During the recent fuel shortages in certain parts of the UK, you may find it tricky to keep your car's tank full of gasoline all the time.

However, if possible, keeping the fuel tank above half full can prevent the gasoline from freezing, making your journey in the morning easier.

Checking the amount of gasoline in the car is also the best time to quickly check the tire pressure, because sometimes colder weather can cause the car's tire pressure to drop.

This will adversely affect the performance of your car, so it is worth paying attention to.

Filling up the fuel and keeping the car tires properly inflated will give you a smoother driving experience throughout the winter.
