When driving a car, concentration is a must. Especially driving a car during the rainy season and on roads with potholes, concentration is needed to avoid potholes on the road.
However, even if you are very alert and concentrated, you will still experience hitting potholes on the road while driving.
The risks of hitting a pothole on the road to your car are enormous. Usually, the most likely to occur is damage to the legs, damage to the Shockbreaker, or wheels that become crooked.
To prevent further damage, don't immediately hit the brakes when the car is about to hit a pothole.
The recent high rainfall intensity has caused potholes on a number of roads.
Of course, it is necessary to be vigilant for car users who have the potential to hit potholes that are difficult to anticipate.
Even if you are forced to hit a pothole, you are advised not to reflexively hit the brake pedal.
The brake pedal should be applied just before the pothole is hit, not held when the car is done hitting the pothole.
Once the car has hit a pothole, release the brake pedal and let the wheels roll.
Hitting a pothole while keeping your foot on the brake pedal will worsen the damage to your tires, rims, and legs.
When passing through a pothole, there is a momentum of the wheel moving freely before falling into the pothole.
By stepping on the brake pedal, the wheel rotation will be restrained.
Wheel retention will accumulate weight impact in one centralized and powerful point.
If you hold your brakes when you hit a pothole, energy impact The impact received from a direct hit is also received by the rim to the wheel joints on the car's legs.
This of course risks causing damage such as tire bursts or peang rims to broken axles.
It is different if the wheel rotation is left free by not stepping on the brake pedal.
The impact of the wheel can be more dispersed than the point impact against the rotation of the wheels that transfer the load to absorb the impact.
