How to stay safe in Car during Coronavirus pandemic?

The new Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic has caused a lot of misery to people around the world, including car enthusiasts. Every country is implementing lockdown, movement restriction order (MRO), social distancing, and stay at home notice (SHN).

Car enthusiasts like me never feel any misery than this period of coronavirus pandemic. We were doomed in our dull home, and we couldn’t drive our beloved car around the cities because the polices or authorities will hunt us down.

We spent so much money and effort to keep the car in the tip-top conditions, but the car now left at the parking lot.

But if you are lucky enough to get to drive your car around during this coronavirus pandemic period, these are what are you need to do to ensure you stay safe in your car from the coronavirus pandemic.

Keep hand sanitizer in your car

Always remember that 99.9% coronavirus diseases transmitted through droplets, and usually starting from your hands. While is impossible to wash your hand while driving the car, always keep a bottle of two hand sanitizer in your car. Use it before you start driving, in between driving or after driving.

Wipe and clean your car seats and dashboard with a sanitizer wipe

Sanitizer wipes are more critical than your butt wipe now. Remember, coronavirus only able to transmit with droplets, and these viruses present everywhere on the surface materials that infected persons touched before. Keep a bag of sanitizer wipes in your cars’ glove compartment. Wipe the entire dashboard and surface materials whenever you pick someone suspected to have infected with the coronavirus. Good luck, pals!

Load up the face masks in your car

You don’t need to wear a mask inside the car unless you are picking someone that is infected with the coronavirus. But in case you really picking someone with coronavirus, I would suggest you stock up 50 pcs of surgical masks and put the stock at the glove compartment so that you are fast enough to pick and the mask on your face before the virus goes into your system.

Park your car under the sunlight

Now there are more reasons not to park your cars indoor because parking your car outdoor and exposure the cars to extreme heat from sunlight helps to kill the coronaviruses and bacteria in your cars.

Don’t believe it? Try to park your car outdoor that hit directly under the sunlight, turn off your engine, and sit inside the car for 3 hours. You will be killed off together with the viruses too. The extreme temperature that absorbed into the car during parking under the hot sunlight could reach up to 116 degrees. What else could survive under such a warm temperature environment?

Keep some whiskey inside the car

Now there are some reasons to keep some whiskey in your car; strong liquor like whiskey (40% alcohol) kills viruses effectively. If you suspect you have breath-in some infections into your system, sip the pure whiskey (without adding any water) into your body system, and you will kill the virus in no time.

By the way, keep the whiskey bottle away from the police else; you will be accused of drink and drive.

Roll down your cars’ windows occasionally to circulate fresh air

I don’t see many local drivers do that, and some of them never open their car windows in their life! The probably live with the A/C turned ON the entire car life span, and can’t bear the heat outside of the car.

It is essential to circulate fresh air into your car cabin. Viruses and bacteria grow well in the humid, close ventilation environment, especially inside the car.

Roll down your cars’ windows for 5-10 minutes after you get into your cars to circulate fresh air into your cars’ cabin. You will be surprised how good your car cabin will smell right now after you practiced this habit regularly— this step helps to keep your cars’ windows system working too.
