Autumn is not only the season of rains, but also the period when the road becomes dangerous due to fallen leaves. Therefore, drivers should be especially careful. A driving school specialist explained the danger of fallen leaves on the road.

Main risks

The combination of fallen leaves and rain creates conditions that make driving on the roads extremely dangerous. Wet leaves can form a slippery surface similar to ice. When leaves accumulate on the road, the adhesion of the tires to the surface is significantly reduced, which negatively affects the handling of the car and increases the braking distance.

There is another less known threat - the effect of fallen leaves on the paint of the car. Wet leaves release tannic acid, which can leave traces on the paint, contributing to the appearance of corrosion of the body over time.

Also, leaves can clog the drainage holes between the hood and the windshield. This disrupts water drainage and ventilation, resulting in fogging of the windows and an unpleasant smell of dampness inside the car.

Knowing these threats will help drivers be more careful and protect their cars. Therefore, in the autumn period, you should drive with caution and regularly clean leaves from the car body.
