Bad luck due to cold
Winter has arrived in the Netherlands and this is reflected in the number of breakdown reports. The ANWB Roadside Assistance is dealing with a stream of breakdowns.
According to a spokeswoman for the ANWB, there was a peak in the number of reports of car breakdowns early on Monday morning. This mainly concerned starting problems, broken batteries and frozen locks. “It’s a busy day for the Roadside Assistance. As it looks now, we will end up with around 6,000 requests for assistance at the end of the day.” On a normal Monday, about 4,000 reports are received.
It was expected that the lower temperatures would have unpleasant consequences for various cars. This has been anticipated: “We are well prepared and have deployed extra roadside assistance to get everyone back on the road as quickly as possible.” The ANWB advises people to be well prepared on the road. “Make sure the car is free of ice and that your lock defroster is not in the glove compartment, but outside the car. Take a warm blanket or jacket with you in case you have a breakdown along the road.” You can find winter tips on AutoWeek.nl. You can often prevent bad luck due to frost yourself.
