In the Arctic, why is there a rule that cars cannot lock their doors?

In this extremely cold glacier, where many creatures cannot survive, polar bears survive with their strong bodies and thick fat. They are large and strong in appearance, agile in movement, and can run at a speed of 64 kilometers per hour, which is a speed that can easily catch up with electric vehicles. Compared with the running speed of polar bears, humans are completely crushed. Therefore, if humans unfortunately encounter a hungry polar bear, don't think about escaping, because no matter what, humans cannot escape this behemoth.

Therefore, when driving in the Arctic, the car doors must not be locked. This makes it easier for humans to get in the car as quickly as possible when encountering a polar bear, thereby escaping the pursuit of the polar bear. Just like in many wildlife park scenic spots, we can also see signs saying that vehicles are not allowed to be locked. The reason is the same.

In addition to making it easier for humans to escape when encountering polar bears, there is also the reason that vehicles are traveling in thick ice. If the ice cannot bear the weight of the car and cracks, So in such critical moments, unlocked vehicles will be more conducive to human escape. Although this possibility is very small, nothing is perfect, especially with reports of melting glaciers in recent years. To be on the safe side, driving in the Arctic should prevent this from happening.

In addition, in the Arctic, a place full of dangers and challenges, the phenomenon of being chased by polar bears may also occur. Therefore, keeping the car door unlocked while driving will save time for people who are chased by polar bears to unlock the door. If someone is really being chased by a polar bear, we as the driver can rescue the person as quickly as possible, and the person being chased can quickly open the car door.

If the vehicle is locked, the person being chased will have to open the door longer, increasing the risk. Finally, it is still an unknown question whether the car can withstand the test in extremely cold zones. Therefore, the car is not locked and the car door cannot be opened to the maximum extent possible.
