A car that has not been driven on streets treated with salt will generally experience a slower rate of rusting compared to one that has been exposed to salt. Salt accelerates the corrosion process by attracting moisture and promoting electrochemical reactions that lead to rust formation. However, even a parked car exposed to outdoor elements can still rust due to humidity, rain, and other environmental factors, though the overall rate will likely be less than that of a car driven on salted roads. Regular maintenance and protective coatings can further reduce rusting in both scenariOS.
