In winter, many car owners face a lot of various inconveniences, such as freezing locks, freezing mirrors, windshields and other windows. And the car can simply stall.
In this case, there are very simple but useful tips that will help, if not completely prevented, then at least minimize the number of force majeure situations in the winter. These tips are especially useful for novice drivers.
What to do if the door lock is frozen?
If the lock is frozen in the car, and you can’t turn the key in any way, for this you need to warm the tip of the key with a lighter. If there is no lighter, this can be done with matches.
After warming up, you need to immediately insert the key into the lock and crank it. If you have no matches, no lighters, take any tube, you can take it from under the handle, removing the paste from it.
The tube should be placed as close as possible to the keyhole and make a few exhalations. It will also help to open the lock.
If there is no pen, then you can make a tube from a sheet of paper, and also exhale through it. But it also happens that at hand there is none of this at all.
Then it’s enough to warm the tip of the key well with its own heat, hold it tightly in your hands, hold it and hold it until it becomes warm.
What if the car stalled?
If you stalled and cannot leave, find nearby branches, finely break them and throw them under the wheel.
You can also, having determined which wheel has stalled, put a carpet from the passenger compartment under it - this can also help out in this situation.

But in order not to freeze the mirrors at night, in the evening you need to wrap them in plastic bags. These simple and useful tips will help motorists cope with difficult situations on frosty days.
