Do you see a hole? Brake, but never completely

Winter giant slalom is unavoidable. Holes have begun to appear, and there will be more of them in the near future.

If you don't want to start in the spring with the expense of car repairs, learn how to drive in a way that minimizes the risk of possible losses.

“The most important thing is not to slow down when the car has already got into a hole in the road,” emphasizes Krzysztof Poravski, an instructor at the Safe Driving School. - We must brake until the last moment, but in no case when hitting an obstacle. The pressed front of the car makes the suspension more vulnerable to serious damage.

Successive generations of cars have larger and larger rims and lower profile tires. Such wheels are not only more expensive, but also more prone to damage. The effects of a blown tire may not be visible to the naked eye, but may show up later.

Therefore, especially for long trips, it is worth taking a full-size spare tire. This is especially important when we are planning a trip at a time when giant potholes are visible on every route.
