Black ice poses the greatest danger to motorists. The head of the expert company LEM Solution, Evgeny Ladushkin, warned about this in a conversation with RT.

The so-called “black ice” forms a thin crust on roads in the fall and spring due to temperature changes. Its danger lies in the fact that such ice is more difficult for the car owner to notice. To avoid accidents, the expert advises drivers to be careful during night frosts and change tires in a timely manner - tires should be changed not too late in the fall and not too early in the spring.

Earlier, the consequences of overinflating tires were revealed to motorists. In particular, increased pressure leads to rapid wear of the central part of the tread and reduces contact with the road, which is why the car holds its trajectory worse when cornering and reacts to the steering wheel. In addition, due to overinflated tires, every pothole, crack and joint on the road is felt inside the car.
