10 snowy road traffic safety travel tips

Rain and snow will cause the road surface to be slippery and have an adverse impact on the travel of the masses. The Traffic Management Bureau of the Public Security Department of Shanxi Province released 10 snowy road traffic safety travel tips to help everyone travel safely.

Pay attention to turn on the headlights. Snow visibility is low, fog lights and low beam lights should be turned on to facilitate the driver to observe the situation ahead. At the same time, the driver should turn on the contour lights and front and rear position lights, so that the front and rear vehicles can see the specific location and traffic situation of their vehicles, so that corresponding measures can be taken.

Driving must be steady. When driving on snow days, avoid sharp directions, sharp acceleration or sharp braking, and drive at the lowest possible speed. It is best to pre-pedal a few times before braking, reminding the rear car to slow down and avoid rear-end collisions. Driving turns should try to make the steering wheel as smooth as possible, so as to avoid correcting the direction in the middle of the curve and causing the vehicle to slide sideways.

Maintain traction. On snowy days, it is safer to maintain proper traction when the vehicle is icy on the road or down steep slopes. The manual transmission quickly shifts the high-speed gear to the low-speed gear while stepping on the brakes, lifting the clutch pedal, allowing both engine pull and braking systems to be effective.

The vehicle slipped and did not panic. If there is a side slip or tail flick during the driving, you should lightly close the throttle and slightly return to the positive direction, and constantly adjust between steering and return, but do not be too large. After the vehicle is back in front, gently press the brakes until the side skid tail is fully controlled. Do not slam on the brakes when the vehicle is skidding or tails.

Reduce gears before turning. Gently slowing down with brakes during cornering and reducing gear in corners is a big no-no for driving in the snow. Whether it is a snowy day or a normal day, the driver should do his best to reduce the gear before the bend.

Driving more prediction. When snow falls, keep a longer distance from the car in front of you and try to choose a familiar section of the road. If the car in front has a tendency to slow down and merge, it should be prepared to slow down in advance. Turn the turn signal in advance when turning or changing lanes, and try to keep the vehicle at a sufficiently safe distance from the outside of the curve when approaching the corner.

Wear colored glasses. Driving on the highway on snowy days, drivers often have a dazzling situation, at this time wearing colored glasses can prevent glare, but also to prevent eye fatigue, is conducive to better observation of the situation ahead.

Pay attention to the weather and road conditions. Before going out, try to know as much as possible about the weather and the road traffic along the way, so that you can adjust the itinerary in time. After getting on the highway, pay attention to the variable information board prompts on the road surface and follow the information.

Use temperature to remove fog. Fog appears in the front windshield of the vehicle, which should be eliminated by adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner in the car, and must not take cotton cloth and towel to wipe while driving.

Prepare emergency supplies appropriately. When traveling on snowy days, you can carry snow chains, hardwood blocks, waste cartons and other items with the car in case the vehicle encounters emergency situations such as tire slippage on ice and snow roads.
