Sloers, chicken nests … furry the obstacles on the road!

What standards for the slow road?

There are different types of delay, including the traditional donkey back or even ” Berlin cushions” , THE tray or the soundtracks.

The decree indicates that whatever their shape, they should neither endanger pedestrians nor damage two wheels.
In addition, this type of device can only be installed on certain ways:

• Roads limited to 30 km/h O area established 30.
• Road or motorway service or rest areas.
• Forest paths.

In addition, Slowders cannot be isolated, that is to say they must be part of a compliance with the overall speed. Therefore they can be combined with each other or integrate into other agreements.

How to protect your vehicle in front of Slowders?

Approaching a slower slow requires a certain control of its speed. Out of the braking issue brutally at the last moment. This not only would have an impact on the consumption of petrol and pollution, but it would also be harmful to comfort or even the safety of passengers. Without forgetting the wear and tear of the brakes and clutch when you take a road every day with the delayers.
On the contrary, approaching a slowdown without having slowed down enough in advance can have unfortunate consequences:

• The car mechanics: shock absorbers, bumpers, sphere, oil paper or shields can wear out prematurely or deteriorate.
• Health of travelers: a slower socket too steep can cause back problems, including pain in the kidneys.

It will therefore be suitable for It slows down well before going back or delaying the use of the engine brake and then keep its speed at low levelBecause other security devices are likely to cross the path. This will also allow you to limit the wear of your braking system by avoiding any brutal braking.

How to avoid chicken nests?

If the slowers are voluntarily positioned on road infrastructures, the gymnastic nests are generally formed due to the lack of maintenance or cause of the past bad weather. These cavities are formed by the infiltration of water under the surface of the asphalt and due to the repeated cycles of frost and defrosting. They are aggravated by the permanent passage of heavy vehicles.

Very dangerous, they can lead to deterioration or even the outbreak of a rubber

Very dangerous, they can lead to the deterioration or even the outbreak of a tire and outlet. In addition, the suspensions can be weakened by shock, in particular If you brake brutally When crossing the obstacle. Therefore, unlike an idea received, if the hen’s nest cannot be avoided, release the brake pedal.

Needless to say, it is better to prevent it than cure! Before taking the road, check that the tires are adequately inflated, they will be even more resistant.

To avoid the impact without endangering you, assured of all time Keep a sufficient distance With the vehicle that precedes you to better anticipate the road conditions. Check your speed and, if you have to change track, do not forget to verify that no vehicle is coming at that moment.
However, a vehicle in the face of road obstacles will be more lasting if it is well maintained and therefore if it is in good condition. You can verify it by passing a voluntary technical control in one of our Dekra, Norisko or Autocontrol centers.
