Immediately problems
The winter weather has only just turned a little more and it is already happening to several cars. The ANWB is already seeing a significant increase in the number of breakdown reports.
Winter is slowly approaching and some cars are already having a hard time. The ANWB says it is already receiving many more reports of breakdowns. A spokeswoman sees an increase of almost 40 percent compared to a normal Thursday. “We expect that we will reach 5,100 reports by the end of the day.” It will also be busy on Friday, she predicts. The ANWB again expects 40 percent more reports than normal.
The cold again leads to familiar problems. The ANWB mainly notices broken batteries and frozen locks. According to the spokeswoman, extra staff have been deployed to ensure that everyone is helped as quickly as possible. “We have asked colleagues who are off work if they can still work and have rescheduled training and courses.”
According to the ANWB, anyone traveling by car would be wise to take a warm coat with them just to be on the safe side and to ensure that the car is winter-ready. What exactly does that mean?
