In the rainy season, things get complicated for us. You need to be careful with your clothing and include a raincoat or your own umbrella in your personal items, right? But it is also during this period that mechanics and their auto repair shops are grateful.

Firstly, because wet asphalt makes it difficult to brake cars. As not everyone has the ABS system, many drivers step on the brakes, but the car slides on the asphalt and hits what was in front.

Another problem is visibility, as the closed windows end up fogging up and the driver does not see so well. The cars even have defrosters, but almost no one uses them.
