Speaker of the Patrol Police of Transcarpathia Ernest Zavadsky told how to keep warm in such a situation, they write "

“The main thing is, if you are in trouble, the car has stalled, and it’s cold outside, don’t despair and don’t panic. Immediately call the rescuers by phone and send your geodata through one of the messengers to relatives, friends and acquaintances,” he advised.

Insulate your car.

Insulate car windows and doors. It is known that the greatest heat loss occurs through glass.. For this, wide adhesive tape and any paper, even toilet paper, are suitable.. Or old newspapers. They need to be applied to all the cracks and sealed so that the cold does not penetrate into the cabin. You can just pinch the paper in the door.

Snow will help insulate the car. Rescuers advise drivers to always have a sapper shovel with them. She needs to throw snow around the car - up to the level of the door sill. So the cold will not penetrate into the cabin through the bottom of the car.

Find a way to keep warm.

Candles can be used to warm up the cabin. The air will heat up faster if you carefully light several of them at once.. You should not do this for too long, because during the burning of candles they take oxygen, and cracks are sealed in the car. In addition, you need to make sure that they do not fall and there is no fire..

It's safer to warm up by a fire outside. It can be planted close to the car. Ideal if there are pieces of wood in the car. They can make fire. Or look for brushwood somewhere near the road. The fire is wonderfully warm. Near it you can also dry things, if there is such a need..

Take care of hot drinks.

Experienced drivers always take a thermos with hot drinks on the road in the cold season. It can be tea or compote. You shouldn't drink alcohol because it doesn't keep you warm.. On the contrary, it can harm. Under its influence, a person can fall asleep or lose control over the situation, which in no case should be allowed in the cold..

Doctors do not advise drinking coffee either, because it can disrupt blood circulation and constrict blood vessels.. But it's good for invigorating. So, if you feel sleepy, you can drink a few sips of coffee..

Take care of your feet.

To disperse the blood throughout the body and keep warm, it is important to move. In a cold car, constantly rub your hands and feet.. They shouldn't be dumb. You can quickly walk around the car or do exercises.

Passengers and the driver of the car need to be well insulated. Find things in the car to wrap yourself in. It's good if there is a blanket or a blanket. Keep your head warm.

Warm your feet. Bring pieces of foil with you.. It must be placed under the insoles, and it will act as a heat reflector.. The heat from the shoes through the sole will not go out, the cold will not penetrate inside and the feet will not freeze.

Take with you in an expensive special thermochemical heating pad. It is enough to shake it, and it heats up itself.. Keeps warm for several hours. It can be put in your pocket, shoes or gloves.

So that trouble does not happen on the road, the car was driving and did not stall, the driver should take care of it. Make sure that it is in good working order, the engine is working well and the battery is charged. It's better to prevent a problem than to deal with it later..
