In ice and snow weather, the Gucheng traffic police remind you to pay attention to driving safety!

Affected by strong cold air

20-27 January

Gucheng County will have a cold wave weather process

The following sections

The majority of drivers must pay attention

Easily icy sections

Gucheng County will usher in a wide range of snowfall, it is expected that S303 Provincial Highway Nanchuan, Yujiagang, Miaogang Road, G241 National Highway Shihua to Zijin Road, S275 Provincial Highway Zhaowan Road Section, Nanhe Bridge, Nanhe Three Bridge, Niejiatan Bridge, Beihe Three Bridge, Xindian Bridge, Shihua Second Bridge, Shengkang Bridge and other easy to snow and ice.

Everyone going out should pay attention to the changes and effects of the weather,

To ensure travel safety,

Keep the following "safety tips" in mind.

Prepare well before you go out

Be aware of weather changes and plan your itinerary in advance

Winter rain and snow are frequent, before going out, be sure to pay attention to the weather forecast, plan the driving route in advance, and avoid driving into the snowy area. After getting on the road, pay attention to the prompts of the variable information board on the road surface, and follow the prompts to drive safely.

Service the tires in advance to ensure proper tire pressure

In winter, the friction coefficient of the road surface is low, and the tire pressure should not be too high or too low. It is recommended that you check the tire status in time when you enter the winter, and appropriately increase the tire pressure to ensure driving safety.

Scientific and reasonable de-icing, protect glass wiper

Before driving, clear the snow that affects the line of sight, and pour hot water on the glass that is easily damaged. The floating snow should be dusted clean and the air conditioner should be turned on until the engine and water temperature rise. After the vehicle is warmed up, the windshield heating function is turned on, and the ice ballast melts before de-icing begins.

Drive with caution when driving

Science uses light

Driving on snow days has low visibility, first turn on fog lights and low beam lights to help drivers look ahead. Secondly, turn on the contour light, if necessary, you can turn on the hazard alarm flash, signal the existence of your vehicle in front of and behind the vehicle, and maintain a certain driving distance.

Pay attention to slow down and keep the distance

The adhesion coefficient of the ice and snow road is low, the braking distance is longer, and it is necessary to maintain a safe driving distance from the car in front. Visibility is low on snow days, the distance the eye can see is close, and the speed must be proportional to the visual distance. Visibility should be less than 200 meters, the speed should be less than 60 kilometers, visibility should be less than 100 meters, the speed should be less than 40 kilometers, visibility should be less than 50 meters, the speed should be less than 20 kilometers.

Keep driving at a constant speed

The road is slippery on snowy days, and the driving risk is greater. Therefore, driving on snow days should pay attention to uniform speed, steady direction, maintain the smoothness of the vehicle, do not change lanes frequently, and try to avoid overtaking. If you encounter an icy section of the road, there is a phenomenon of slippage, remember not to panic, do not brake sharply, do not hit the direction, you can reduce the speed by reducing the gear, and at the same time point brake, let the car slowly stop.

Ramp driving method

Driving on the ramps in the case of snow and ice on the road area is more dangerous. When driving uphill, you should avoid stopping in the slope to avoid slipping and starting difficulty; when going downhill, the manual transmission car can use the low gear to let the engine assist braking, so that the speed of the car is slowed down and the vehicle is avoided from slipping.

Cross the bridge and walk in the middle

Due to the lack of geothermal melting ice and snow, bridges on highways are more likely to freeze than ordinary pavement. Under the dual action of truck rolling and snow melting agent, the middle lane of the bridge usually melts snow faster, while the passing lane and emergency lane will be severely icy. So be extra careful when driving to the bridge section. Be sure to reduce your speed and only take the middle lane, never overtake or change lanes.

Parking precautions

Choose a parking location

When parking on snowy and snowy roads, it is best to choose a sunny, windy, flat and dry place to avoid being close to buildings, utility poles or other vehicles to prevent accidents or collisions when the vehicle is skidding.

Science prevents slipping

If you must stop on the ramp, you should hang up the gear in the direction of "uphill" (if the front of the car is facing up, it should be hung on the 1st gear in order to prevent slipping, and vice versa) In order to prevent the vehicle from sliding down, there is also a dirt way to find a brick with the top of the head in front of the bottom-facing wheel.

Snow and ice pavement will cause

The coefficient of friction on the road surface is reduced

The vehicle is difficult to get started

The braking distance of the brakes is increased

It is very easy to cause traffic accidents

Such road conditions

Be extra careful when driving

Rain and snow on the road, easy to slip,

Gucheng traffic police remind the majority of drivers,

When driving on snow and ice roads,

To achieve "slow refueling, light deceleration, slow turning",

Reduce the speed, keep your distance and drive with caution!
