Does Driving on the Highway in Heavy Rain Damage the Car?
1 Answers
Driving on the highway in heavy rain can cause some damage to the car. After the vehicle is soaked in the rain, water not only remains on the surface of the car body but also seeps into the gaps underneath. When driving in the rain, mud and dirt from the road can also splash into these gaps. When rainwater mixes with this dirt, it forms grime that adheres to the gaps, hiding in hard-to-notice areas. If not cleaned properly, it can lead to rust on the car body. Precautions for driving on the highway are as follows: 1. Safety Check: Inspect for potential hazards before getting on the road. Before driving on the highway, check if the car has any safety risks. 2. Wear Seat Belts: Always wear seat belts on the highway, including the driver, front passenger, and rear seats. Avoid placing loose items in the car. 3. Stay in One Lane: Avoid frequent lane changes on the highway, switching between the passing lane and the driving lane, and never make sudden unannounced decelerations or stops in the driving lane. While driving, do not drive side by side with other vehicles, stay in the passing lane for extended periods, or attempt to overtake from the emergency lane. Also, prepare for lane changes in advance when exiting the highway to avoid missing the exit.
