Autumn roads require special attention: residents of Donbass are urged to carefully check vehicles before traveling

Autumn roads require special attention: leaves, puddles, fog and early twilight make the trip more difficult. Before going on the road, motorists are advised to take 10-15 minutes to inspect the car. The advice was given by the channel “Roads of Donbass” in the national messenger MAX.

Headlights and stop lights. Dirty or foggy glass greatly reduces visibility and makes the car less noticeable. They are built to wipe and double check the operation of all lamps.

Cleaners and washer. In autumn, the glass quickly gets dirty: dirt flies from under the wheels, and raindrops mix with dust. It is worth making sure that the brushes do not creak and do not leave stripes, and the washer tank is full of non-freezing liquid.

Tires. The tread should be sufficiently deep: on wet asphalt, the grip is noticeably worse. It is necessary to check the pressure - it must comply with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Brake. In wet weather, the braking distance increases, so it is important that the system works without complaints.

In addition, driving a vehicle autumn is especially important:

reduce speed in case of poor visibility

- keep an extended distance

- avoid sharp maneuvers

be more careful at pedestrian crossings

“If the weather has deteriorated dramatically — heavy rainfall, thick fog, ice — it is better to stop at a safe area and wait. Safety is more important than a few minutes on the way, experts urged.
