Precautions for driving on icy roads
Last night, there was a sudden light snowfall in Puyang, and the road surface was frozen in the morning, and the ground was very slippery.
So, in the face of this situation of icy road, what should you pay attention to when driving a vehicle? Here are a few tips for you, hoping to help you:
1, slow start, when driving on the icy road, you should slowly lift the clutch, try to start as slowly as possible, so that the wheels maintain adhesion;
When the vehicle is driving on an icy road, the braking distance of the vehicle will be longer than that of the dry road. It takes 21.1m to slow down from 40km/h to 5km/h on snow and ice roads using four season tires, which is almost equivalent to the distance required to slow down to a standstill on dry roads, while the braking distance of 100km/h to a standstill on snow and ice roads exceeds 150m.
Even if the winter tires are replaced, they can only improve the braking performance within a limited range, and in most parts of the country, the owners of the winter tires who consciously replace them are only a very small minority, most of them are four-season tires over the winter, so they need to pay more attention to driving vehicles on the frozen road, the speed is not too fast and maintain sufficient distance, which is a better way to reduce the accident rate.
2, careful driving, when driving on the icy road, the throttle should be slowly stepped on deep, carefully accelerated, pay attention to avoid sudden refueling, oil collection, slamming direction, slamming the brakes and other fierce driving methods;
When driving a vehicle on an icy road, it is easy to stop the car or the vehicle is skidding. Therefore, when driving a vehicle, you should pay attention to gentle driving, and the distance from the car in front of you should be twice as long as usual, so that you can detect the situation early and react in time. At the same time, try to keep driving in a straight line, do not easily change lanes frequently, overtaking.
3. When encountering side slip or deviation, it is necessary to put away the throttle in time, and at the same time hit the steering wheel in the direction of side sliding, tap the brakes many times, adjust the direction of the body, and when the vehicle turns, hit the steering wheel to be evenly slow;
Because the icy road surface is relatively slippery and will cause great difficulties to driving vehicles, it is necessary to be particularly careful when driving, to have a high degree of foresight, and to make a prejudgment of the events that will occur, so as to take measures in advance to prevent accidents due to inaccurate operation at the time of the event.
4, pay attention to the slope, snow on the car steep slope, need to reserve a longer distance, you can use the low gear large throttle to rush up, and when climbing the hill is best not to change gears, the use of low gear wheel speed low torque, tires are not easy to slip;
When driving on the road, it is inevitable to encounter ramps and curves, and if the road surface is frozen here, it will be more likely to have accidents than other sections. When cornering, it is necessary to slow down in advance, keep the car at a low speed to turn, and prohibit overtaking or changing lanes in curves. 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, and you should also pay attention not to slam on the dead brakes, and you can use the lower gear to assist in reducing the speed.
5, in case of accidents do not panic, in the snow road driving, encounter an emergency should use the intermittent braking method to violently press down the brake pedal about one-half to three-quarters of the stroke, and then loosen back a quarter of the stroke, repeat several times until the vehicle slows down to stop, do not step on the brake pedal.
6. In the case of poor line of sight, you can turn on the headlights and fog lights.
Qingfeng traffic police warm tips: winter is the season of high incidence of accidents, especially in the rain, snow, fog and other harsh environments are more likely to occur accidents. While using the car, we must improve our safety awareness, pay more attention to the weather conditions, and prevent the impact of bad weather in advance.
