Tips for driving in snowy days

When winter came, snow began to fall in the north. So, for those who drive to and from work, we should be especially careful, because in snowy days, not only the sight is not good, but also the road is easy to slip when it freezes, so we should pay special attention to safety when traveling.

Precautions for driving in snowy days 1: before winter, first make a special safety inspection for the whole car. The main inspection items include car battery, safety belt, horn, radiator, engine oil, light, brake, exhaust system, heating, defrosting heater, wiper and ignition system.

Precautions for driving in snowy days 2: start slowly, lift clutch slowly and refuel slowly. If there is wheel slip at the start, you can shift into a higher gear than usual. For example, a car can start in second gear, a freight car can start in third gear when it is empty and a heavy car can start in second gear. Clutch release slower than usual, adjust the size of power transmission best with the amplitude of half clutch to solve.

Precautions for driving in snowy days 3: keep low speed and stable during driving. As the braking distance will increase with the increase of vehicle speed, the key to driving on ice and snow road is to control the vehicle speed and keep a large safety distance from the vehicle in front.

Precautions for driving in snowy days 4: keep driving at a constant speed and straight line. Driving on ice and snow road requires more attention and vigilance of drivers. In winter, people's motion sensitivity is lower than the normal temperature, the following distance is at least 1.5 times larger than the normal pulling, and the road conditions should be paid attention to.

Precautions for driving in snowy days 5: no matter whether there is ABS or not, do not shift gears, but use the traction of the engine to slow down. For vehicles with ABS, step on the brake at the same time, pay attention to the control direction, and do not turn the direction in a hurry. For vehicles without ABS, at the same time, use the method of artificial braking. In addition, in terms of road selection, it is not necessary to pile up on the ring road, but also to choose the main road and the auxiliary road of the ring road that have been cleaned; in the urban area, try to avoid some overpasses that have not been thoroughly cleaned, so as to prevent slipping and anchor breaking when climbing the slope. Whenever you park, keep away from the car in front, especially on the slope.

Precautions for driving in snowy days 6: speed up shift speed shall be lower than normal. After the vehicle starts, when the speed is increased on the ice and snow road, the gear can be changed at the engine speed slightly lower than the normal gear change. In the process of acceleration, if you feel the wheel slipping with the ground or the body rolling away, you should release some accelerator or even stop acceleration. When the vehicle is running normally, it should react early and brake early in the snow day, because the friction coefficient on the ice and snow road is only 0.1 to 0.2, and the braking distance will greatly increase. Only when the vehicle reacts early, can the accident be effectively avoided. Low speed gear shall be used for uphill and downhill. Do not shift gear halfway. Do not turn off the engine when uphill, because it is difficult to start again. It is absolutely forbidden to slide in neutral gear when downhill.

Precautions for driving in snowy days 7: downshift brake. Emergency braking on ice and snow road is prone to problems, resulting in sideslip and uncontrollable vehicle direction. When there is such a sign, the driver should first release the brake, let the steering wheel resume control of the vehicle, or gradually slow down the vehicle speed by means of point braking.

Precautions for driving in snowy days 8: avoid turning the steering wheel on the ice. When you need to turn, you should also slow down first, increase the turning radius appropriately and turn the steering wheel slowly, especially on the mountain roads in the suburbs. Sometimes the ice and snow roads are intermittent. When turning, it is better to take measures in advance to complete at the discontinuity. Make sure you don't have snow or ice on the soles of your shoes when you drive.

Precautions for driving in snowy days 9: speed shall be as fast as possible within the reasonable range of slope road. When it is necessary to drive on a section of ramp covered with ice and snow, because the vehicle adhesion is seriously insufficient due to ice and snow, it is more necessary to maintain a certain speed when the vehicle goes uphill.
