Taking a rest or sleeping in a car may be a good choice especially when you’re encountering a traffic jam. However, you should know the facts. There are some points that you need to pay attention when you feel like to sleep in the car. You probably have heard about some terrible cases tell about several drivers that died in their own car while sleeping. What may be the causes? Here are the answers which we have collected from AstraWorld on Tuesday, March 1, 2016.

The cause of death usually is the exhaust gas that comes through the cabin. Generally, this condition happens because of the engine that hasn’t been turned off, since probably the drivers want to keep the air conditioner on. In fact, the engine that still on may danger us. As we know that the exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide (CO). This pollutant doesn’t have smell, can’t be seen, but if this gas comes inside our nose and go inside our body, we may be supple and feel dead asleep. More horrible, if we smell this pollutant too much, it may cause us death.

Therefore, it is suggested if you want to sleep inside a car because of exhaustion, don’t forget to turn off the engine. To anticipate bad atmosphere since the AC is off, lower a little for your windshield near your position where you want to sleep. This will help you getting fresh air coming through the opened windsheld. Although, don’t lower the windshield too wide to avoid people outside doing bad things to you while you are sleeping. Don’t forget to keep your car door locked. In addition, find a safety parking area. The place should be far from criminality threats. Find a location that is not too quiet. At least, a location that makes any criminals think twice if they want to steal or do bad things to you or your car. Not only that, don’t forget to activate handbrake while parking. This should be done if you don’t want to make your car moving by itself while you are sleeping. (hrzg)
