Frost, ice and snowdrifts are not all the problems that await a car owner in winter. Warming temperatures threaten cars with additional “ambushes”. As a rule, car owners
As a rule, car owners enjoy periods of rising temperatures during the cold season. When the thermometer values rise at least slightly above zero again, operating the machine becomes noticeably easier. You don’t have to worry about the ability of a battery that is no longer new to start the engine. After all, engine oil with “plus” outside is not as thick as in cold weather. And the capacity of the electric battery itself increases slightly with increasing temperature.
The washer fluid does not thicken and splashes normally on the windshield. The rubber bands of the windshield wiper blades do not harden in the cold and remove water and dirt better. Snowfall gives way to rain – you can forget about the white flakes that stick to the snow blowers and not touch the brush and scraper after the car has been parked outside for a long time. Yes, the road gets muddy and wet. But not slippery!
But in all this lukewarm ‘grace’ and a decent size there is a ‘fly in the ointment’. Our Russian asphalt really does not like repeated transitions of air temperature through zero. It cracks, swells in places and tends to fall apart. It is during the thaw that many potholes appear: cars drive along weakened parts of the sidewalk and destroy them with their wheels.
In the literal sense, ‘surface nuisance’ to a car from a pothole caused by thaw is the risk of damaging the suspension or breaking a wheel during a particularly unsuccessful run over a hole in the road surface. Sometimes you can get around it. But sometimes the size, location of the hole in the asphalt and the intensity of traffic make this task very difficult.
However, there is another ‘side effect’ of the thaw, which by definition is impossible to avoid. These are products of the destruction of the road surface, which was once where potholes were located: stones, sand and pieces of asphalt. All this shame is usually scattered along the roadway. Stones fall under the wheels of some cars and fly into the windows and bodies of others. This causes ‘thaw’ chips in the paint and cracks in car windows.
Small pebbles and sand from potholes rise together with the water suspension and fly onto the windshields. When the wipers are turned on, they inevitably rub this abrasive across the glass surface, leaving micro scratches. This causes the “forehead” to become cloudy. And at night, the headlights of oncoming traffic “play” on many of these scratches, dazzling and tiring the driver’s eyes.
So if you value the integrity of your car’s glass and paint, avoid traveling during the thaw if possible.
