If you are going to spend your holidays in beautiful locations of the Crimean Peninsula, traveling with his family in a car, you somehow have to pass through the Crimean mountain roads. This means that you should be prepared for the difficulties high-driving, which is very different from the usual travel on flat terrain. Stir in the difficult conditions of serpentine, sharp turns, sudden ups and downs for the unprepared person can be dangerous, so before you go on a trip, you should be well prepared for what awaits you in the mountains. first advice - try to rest at least half an hour before you enter the mountains. If you are in front of this many hours spent behind the wheel, you will definitely need a holiday - the mountains are insidious, and fatigue dulls the mind. Be alert and always ready for an unexpected change in road conditions. On mountain roads are often virtually no shoulders, so in advance to consider ways of avoiding danger. Do not forget that distance, volume and direction of the mountains are perceived differently, so you might not even notice what's on the rise - it becomes clear only by the roar of the engine and the smell of burning clutch. Be especially careful on the slopes - never ride on the "neytralke" and try to slow down the engine, less often touching the brakes. Boil the brake fluid and pads overheat - very common in the mountains. In the case of an emergency, use the special "pockets", arranged on the road for such cases.

These walls have on any mountain roads - and in the Crimea, and in the Alps, and in the Tien-Shan Mountains near the town of Karakol. Of course, the car sorry, but your own life and health is more expensive. Another feature of the Crimean mountain roads - a marly shale, a special type of clay. This clay is deposited on the road in the form of dust, and should only take even a small rain - the road turns into a real ice rink. In addition, during wet weather roads often fail, and the roadway are carried stones. So be very careful in the rain, but if you can, then when it rains it is better not to go on the road. |
