As long as the water level reaches two-thirds of the bumper or tires, driving through water poses certain risks. Higher speeds will increase the actual depth of water the car passes through. When driving through water, in addition to maintaining a low speed, it is also essential to avoid stopping or shifting gears. The car should pass through steadily at a low gear with moderate to high throttle. If the car stalls unexpectedly in water, do not attempt to restart it immediately. Instead, take measures to tow the car to a safe location with less water as soon as possible. After driving through water, it is necessary to promptly remove moisture from the brake pads, especially for cars with drum brakes, otherwise the vehicle may lose braking ability after water exposure.

Why is there a crack inside the windshield but not outside?

If there is a crack inside the windshield but not outside, it may be caused by thermal expansion and contraction cracks or damage from external pressure. Additional information: Windshield wipers are one of the main sources of damage to the front windshield. On one hand, after prolonged use, aging wipers can cause damage - if the end of the wiper arm directly rubs against the windshield, it will not only fail to clean rainwater effectively but also scratch the glass. Moreover, wipers that accumulate dust can easily leave small scratches and fine marks on the windshield when rubbing against it. Experts point out that at high speeds, even these tiny scratches can lead to windshield breakage. Although the probability is small, some cases of sudden windshield shattering on highways without an apparent cause are actually the result of these accumulated minor scratches over time.
