Electronics - leaving your electronics in your car on a warm day can cause damage to the devices . We don’t tend to worry about catching anything nasty from our own handbag, but it’s a distinct possibility if it’s sat in a warm car.

Don’t risk food poisoning, buy your food when you’re at your destination if you’re going to be travelling a long way by car.
