It is necessary to pay attention to traffic information such as high-speed closures and airport delays, and adjust travel plans in a timely manner.

Second, the road surface is slippery in low-temperature freezing rain and snow weather, and it is necessary to be cautious and slow. When driving on rain and snow roads, you should increase the distance with the car, leave yourself sufficient reaction time and braking distance, so as to avoid rear-end accidents. If you find that the rear car is close to the car, you can tap the brakes to ensure safety to remind the rear car to widen the distance.

Third, keep in mind the 9-word trick of "pulling over the car, evacuating people, that is, alarming" to prevent secondary accidents. If the vehicle is in an accident or malfunction and cannot be moved, it is necessary to continuously turn on the lights and hazard warning flashing lights, and place warning signs larger than 150 meters behind the car. If the visibility is low, the distance can be further extended to 200 meters, allowing the rear car to avoid it as soon as possible. The personnel in the car should be evacuated to a safe area in time and called the police to wait.

In particular, when going uphill, starting, and parking, there may be a phenomenon of slipping, and snow chains can be added to the tires. Avoid sudden acceleration, emergency braking, and sharp direction during driving.

Fifth, in areas with frequent snowfall, heavy snow and alpine areas, it is necessary to prepare insulation blankets, high-calorie foods, hot drinks, flashlights, shovels and other emergency items in advance, in case of being trapped due to heavy snow, it can greatly improve the ability to help yourself.
