Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object moving at a constant velocity will keep moving at that velocity unless an external force acts on it. This is sometimes called the law of inertia.

Can you explain what happens when you accelerate in car in terms of newton's first law?

No. The conditions for Newton's First Law are that there is no acceleration; and these conditions simply don't apply. You need Newton's Second Law for your analysis.
