5 winter problems with the car and the simplest ways to defeat them There is nowhere to go - you have to park in a puddle, but how to get out of the car? To do this, you must have rubber boots in the cabin. Otherwise, getting out without soaking your legs will fail. You’ll be lucky if you can park your driver’s door to the curb - you can leave it dry.
And what will happen to the car itself after such a long parking?
Among motorists there is an opinion that from a long parking in a puddle at the car tires deteriorate. This is nothing more than a myth. Water does not have a damaging effect on car tires.
There is an even more ridiculous misconception: they say that water can get inside the tires. This can happen only if the tire is damaged, the cut is in the water and air comes out of the wheel. But in this case, you still have to repair the wheel: they will dismantle it at the tire fitting and get rid of the water.
So if there are no other parking options, then feel free to leave the car in a puddle. Nothing will happen to her. While the temperature overboard is more than 0 ° C.

Brakes froze - what to do? But if at night frosts occur and the temperature in the street drops very much, and the puddle is deep, then the water will freeze and “pick up” the wheels. Then you have to take up an ax or crowbar, crack ice and only then leave. Otherwise, the car will not get out of the ice captivity. And constantly gassing in attempts to leave, it is possible to scorch the clutch (in the case of mechanics) or ditch the machine. However, this happens quite rarely. As a rule, during the night the puddle is only covered with a thin layer of ice, which the machine can easily cope with during launch.
