Why professional drivers only drink drinks from their own glasses

Modern marketers have taught motorists to buy tea, coffee and other drinks in paper cups. It’s nice and convenient: I drove to the gas station, grabbed a glass and then you rolled and took small sips. And you don’t have to open the bottle cap. But professional drivers condemn such a habit.
The AvtoVzglyad portal told in detail that hundreds of meters of wires are now laid on the floor of the body of every passenger car, connecting absolutely all the electrical and electronic devices of the car. Accordingly, when some liquid is spilled on the carpet, sooner or later moisture will get on the “terminals” of the wires. And eventually it penetrates the contacts, causing corrosion …
However, careless consumption of drinks threatens with other problems. Instead of a passenger car, let’s imagine a big truck speeding down the highway. The driver is distracted by a sip of coffee from a paper cup and at that moment a multi-ton colossus flies onto the bridge, the joints of the plates the road builders have made according to the principle “it will do”. The cockpit shudders and a generous helping of americano or latte splashes straight onto the steering wheel.
Such cases from their own practice, perhaps, can tell any truck driver. For some, the case ended with the failure of the buttons on the “steering wheel”, for others, after the coffee “shower”, the keys worked, but began to “stick” unpleasantly. After such misfortunes, the drivers, learned by bitter experience, forever refused to drink drinks from glasses while driving!
In the lists of “affected” nodes there are also flooded microclimate, light and mirror control units. Each item costs a lot of money. For example, let’s not even give a main tractor, but the usual Gazelle Business, where the climate control panel now costs from 10,000 rubles. For heavy foreign cars, such elements will cost much more.
Therefore, “I drank coffee – I drove on” – perhaps the most important rule, which is equally suitable for both truck drivers and passenger car pilots. And if you really want to please yourself with a sip of a fragrant drink, you can use the secret of experienced travelers and drivers: pour liquid not into a paper cup, but into your own mug.
Now on sale there is a huge number of high-quality thermal mugs that retain heat for a long time, and most importantly – they have “drinkers”. That is, even on steep potholes, not a drop will flow from such a glass! The main thing is to choose the right diameter of the container so that it fits perfectly in the cup holder of a particular car.
If you wish, you can buy an option … with a heating function – it will cost a little more. Or order a lettering or logo. However, such “tuning” is an exceptional matter of taste and budget. Such a purchase will certainly protect the electrical parts of the car (control units, connectors, etc.) from the ingress of liquids.
