Is it ok to drive after a crash?
|
Yesterday, my Nissan Maxima slid on ice and hit a wall going 15-20 mphs. No airbags went off. but there was some body damage and my wiper fluid went empty. After crashing, I drove about 30 miles to get home. On the way home, I noticed nothing out of the ordinary. Do you think my car is safe to drive now, or do I risk damage by driving it?

If it's just some paint scratched off, it should be fine. But since your wiper fluid went empty, that means that objects inside the hood got damaged, and so the engine and radiator and other things may be damaged too. You should go to a mechanic and have them check your car for any problems. |

You don't always know the extent of the damage.
I'm glad you made it home all right, but I'd advise some expert have a look at the underside of the car. It's not just further damage to the car you have to worry about. Some critical part may have been damaged, just enough to have gotten you home, but may be ready to fail, now.
Something happened to drain your wiper fluid. How do you know somehthing else wasn't damaged? |
