Tips for traveling safely in bad weather

1. Reduce the speed and maintain the distance

Rain and snow vehicle tires are easy to slip, some areas due to cold weather, the road is easy to freeze, the vehicle driving process, more need to be extra cautious, as far as possible to increase the contact between the tire and the ground, to prevent tire slippage, the speed of the vehicle should also be slowed down, but also to maintain a longer distance, in order to ensure driving safety!

2, uphill and turning should pay attention to what

Rain and snow weather, the road surface is slippery, the friction of the vehicle tires will be greatly reduced, it is easy to slip, you need to slow down in advance when turning, maintain a low speed to corner, and prohibit overtaking or changing lanes in the corners. When going uphill, you should try to keep the gear low and avoid shifting gears, and when going downhill, you should avoid sliding in neutral gear, you can use the method of point braking to reduce the speed, and you can use the lower gear to assist in reducing the speed.

3. Rational use of headlights to maintain a good line of sight

In the event of rainy days, the weather is usually relatively dark, and the driving line of sight will be affected, so when driving, be sure to pay attention to driving safety. If the visibility is not good, the front and rear fog lights should be turned on during the driving process to facilitate the safety of the surrounding vehicles. Due to the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, the front windshield is easy to fog, and it is necessary to open the fog removal switch in time to maintain a good line of sight.

4. Pay attention to pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles

Pay close attention to pedestrians around you when crossing intersections and turning, especially cyclists and electric vehicles, who have worse balance and control on rain and snow roads than four-wheeled cars. So try to let pedestrians, people riding electric cars and motorcycles go first.

5. Drive slowly Remember to slam on the brakes

When driving on rainy and snowy roads, you should slowly lift the clutch and start as slowly as possible to keep the wheels adhesive. The throttle should be slowly stepped deep and gently accelerated. Pay attention to avoid sudden refueling, oil collection, slamming direction, slamming on the brakes and other intense driving behaviors. When driving on rain and snow roads, the braking distance will be significantly longer than the braking distance on dry roads, and it is necessary to pay attention to braking in advance to avoid greater danger caused by emergency braking caused by tail flicking.
