There is a new round of snowfall in the north. For those who drive to work, it is very difficult to travel in the snow. We all know that driving on the ice and snow road should be careful and not careless. Recently, the weather bureau issued a national blizzard warning, so for the owners of private cars, they must pay attention to safety when traveling, and must drive carefully. What are the precautions for driving in snow?
What to pay attention to when driving in snowy days:
1: Before winter, first of all, a special safety inspection shall be conducted for the whole vehicle. The main inspection items include car battery, safety belt, horn, radiator, engine oil, light, brake, exhaust system, heating, defrosting heater, wiper and ignition system.
2: Start to slowly lift the clutch and slowly refuel. 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.
3: Keep the speed 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.
4: Drive in a straight line at a constant speed. 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.
5: No matter whether there is ABS or not, it is not necessary to take off the gear, but to use the traction of the engine to slow down. For vehicles with ABS, at the same time, step on the brake, pay attention to the control direction, and do not jerk the direction. For vehicles without ABS, at the same time, it is necessary to take the method of manual braking. In addition, in terms of road selection, it is not necessary to pile up in 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.
6: The acceleration 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.
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.
8: Do not turn 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 driving.
9: The 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.
What should women drivers pay attention to when driving
1. Remember to close the door
After getting on the train, remember to lock the door at the first time in case of any accident, which is also a measure to prevent yourself from being in a hurry and panic.
2. Don't put money and things around
Including gold and silver jewelry, money and other important items, do not get on the car and throw them around. It's better to wear it on your body or put it in the car's storage box. The advantage of this is that in case of an emergency, the problem of money and goods will not be considered, so as to avoid accidents.
3. Wear flat shoes when driving
When driving, do not wear slippers, do not wear high-heeled shoes, be sure to wear flat shoes. The advantage of this is that when you step on the brake, you can put it in place in one step.
4. Make prediction in advance
In order to prevent the accelerator from being stepped on when the brake is applied, when encountering traffic lights, more pedestrians, turning vehicles
When backing up, narrow roads and other situations, we should make a good prediction and take preventive measures in advance. If the vehicle is in manual gear, the accelerator can be released in advance and the vehicle speed can be controlled by clutch. If it is an automatic vehicle, release the accelerator and control the speed by braking.
5. Don't panic
No matter what happens, the first thing is to keep calm and not panic. If someone honks in the back of your car, remember not to panic, continue to drive at the original speed, and then slowly observe the condition of the vehicle behind through the rearview mirror, according to the situation to decide whether to slow down or accelerate, and whether to avoid. Never accelerate or stop suddenly.
6. Be careful to travel for thousands of years
It has been said that driving on the road is equivalent to driving at a high speed with tons of iron blocks. Only by being careful, can we ensure the safety of our lives and other people's property. Therefore, when driving on the road, you must remember the word "safety". You must not drive a wager car, a hero car, or take it for granted. Especially where there are many people, you must remember to change your foot to the brake in time. When we encounter a situation that we can't grasp, even if we don't stop, we won't make mistakes, and we won't lead to a lifelong tragedy.
