PAGE 22 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13. 1981 Rust can depreciate car yearly A trucking company recently warned its drivers not to get so involved with their CB radio conversations that they forget to watch traffic. The same advice applies to drivers of other vehiâ€" cles. Many CB operators drive with their windows closed either because the air conditioning is working in their car or because the weather outside the car is cool. Closed windows compound the probiem of muffling traffic noise. Cooler temperatures inside or outside their cars involve an extra driving risk for owners of citizen band radios, the Automotive Parts & Accessories Association says. Radio, tape player and citizen band radio volume should be low enough for drivers to hear sirens and other traffic sounds clearly. Cars are rusting faster than ever, due in part to the approximately nine million tons of salt used on the roads yearly. The severity of last winter‘s weather may have set a record for salt use. According to the Automotive Parts & Accessories Association, rust and corroâ€" sion can add $100 a year to a car‘s depreâ€" ciation.
