And although the special operation in Ukraine, judging by the survey of the AvtoVzglyad portal, 76% of Russians spent their summer vacation at home or, at best, in the country, a significant number of compatriots still rushed to road trips. Some – to the seas, some – to Altai and Karelia, some – along the Golden Ring. Unfortunately, some didn’t make it, others struggled to come back. The car, you know, left it from the ground up…

But is it empty? For example, the reader’s journey south became a torment only because, firstly, he entrusted a dubious car service to prepare the car for the tour, and secondly, showed personal “automotive carelessness”. As a result, he moved up to 300 km in dashes and did not have time to top up brake fluid. It turned out that the brake hose was twisted very corny and even torn in one place.
