How Large Must Hail Be to Damage a Car?
1 Answers
Hail with a diameter exceeding two centimeters can damage a car. Here are some precautions to take when encountering hail: 1. While driving: When hail starts, reduce your speed immediately and park the car in a sheltered area as soon as possible, preferably in an underground parking lot, to minimize damage. 2. Protecting the vehicle: Covering the car's surface with blankets can help reduce damage, but avoid parking under trees as hail may break branches, which could cause more severe damage to the car. If there's no place to take shelter when hail strikes, quickly move to the back seats of the car to avoid injury from shattered windshield glass.
