Experts gave advice to drivers who will help to protect the machine from damage on bad track.
Everywhere there are roads, the overcoming of which is associated with the risk of damaging the machine. A few simple tips from experienced professionals will help you maintain tires, wheels and suspension intact.
1. Obscure the road do not lose vigilance for a second. A particular danger of the current situation is that in many regions, road workers trying to repair the asphalt, but the forces they have enough only in some areas. Therefore, the fragments on smooth coating change unexpectedly frankly disaster areas. Speeding on the ground, you immediately flying on the second, the result is a ripped tire, wrinkled discs, the inability to continue the movement. Fortunately, deep, dangerous pits to car usually are not formed in a day or two, so along the familiar stretch of road you can go more or less safely.
2. Use for safe driving of other road users. If you see the highway ahead congestion of cars, their lateral movement, the dust on the roadside, most likely, you approach the place with dangerous holes, which your colleagues at this moment trying to overcome. This is also warn you the car, standing on the opposite the side with the Jack under the sill. Immediately reduce speed.
3. If you have to rapidly slow down just before the pothole, release the brake pedal before the barrier – it is impossible that a car drove into a hole, squatting on the “front” – that is, when compressed the springs of the front suspension.
4. Learn how to choose a safe from a pothole – in case you check one of them would be inevitable. So, it is usually better to “catch” a deeper failure or a wave with no sharp edges, than a shallow hole with ragged edges of asphalt along the edges. In the first case, the suspension just works until it stops by the stopper, and the second rough sharp edge of the hole will cut into the tire and, when they reached the drive, cut the rubber and crushing the steel rim.
5. Use the side. In the extreme case in dry weather clean from the rocks and grass of the roadside can serve as a reliable support for your right wheel – in this case, you have to choose between Yam “path” only for the left wheel. Very important: when your left and right wheels are on different surfaces (asphalt and soil the curb), you can’t actively slow down and sharply turn the steering wheel.
