Remove these items from the trunk immediately if you don’t want your motorbike to become a dangerous pile of scrap metal.
1. Wine
Because the temperature in the trunk is often higher than normal, it can cause the liquid to expand enough to cause the bottle cap to break and the wine to leak out. Air entering will contaminate the wine inside. Furthermore, the leaked wine exposed to high temperatures is also very likely to cause an explosion. Even if there is no explosion, leaving a bottle of wine in the trunk will affect the taste of the wine.
2. Perfume
You need to know that perfume contains alcohol. That is why they are very flammable. If you leave perfume in the trunk of your car, the high temperature will change its scent and can cause a fire or explosion if it overheats.
3. Hairspray
Hairspray also contains an extremely flammable ingredient. These sprays all use changes in pressure to release the substance inside. When exposed to heat, the pressure inside the sealed can will also increase, easily causing the spray to explode, causing harm to both the vehicle and the driver.
4. Carbonated Drinks
There are some types of soft drinks that are packaged in aluminum cans by the manufacturer. If you put them in the trunk of a motorbike, when exposed to high temperatures, the pressure in the can will increase. The pressure combined with the compressed gas inside will turn the soft drink can into a bomb that can explode easily.
5. Lighter
A lighter is also one of the items that you absolutely must not leave in the trunk of a motorbike. The reason is because the temperature in the trunk of a motorbike is quite high and the lighter contains gas. High temperatures can cause the lighter to explode, which is extremely dangerous if you are driving a motorbike at this time.
6. Electronic devices
Electronic devices such as phones, laptops, power banks, etc. are also things that should not be placed in the trunk of a motorbike. This not only reduces their lifespan but can also endanger the driver’s life. If traveling long distances, the temperature in the trunk can cause the device’s screen to deform, and batteries under high temperatures are very susceptible to explosion.
