Qinghai traffic police remind the majority of drivers that the road is slippery in rain and snow weather, which seriously affects driving safety. Please keep abreast of the road traffic situation before driving, and try to avoid going out in rain, snow and fog. If you encounter rain, snow and fog on the highway, you should turn on the low beam lights, contour lights, rear position lights in time, if necessary, turn on the hazard alarm flash, strictly control the speed, maintain a safe distance, and drive into the nearest service area to stop and wait or drive away from the nearest exit to avoid accidents.
Check the safety status of the vehicle
Before traveling, check the safety status of the vehicle to prevent the failure of the vehicle in the middle of the road and affect the road traffic. The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the snow car is very large, and the glass of the car is easy to fog, resulting in blurred vision. At this time, it is necessary to open the window defogging function in time or turn on the air conditioner, dry it with a towel, etc., to ensure that the driving vision is clear.
Reduce the speed and increase the distance
Reduce the speed of the car, remember not to brake sharply and accelerate sharply. Increase the distance between cars. The driving distance on snow days should be more than 2-3 times that of dry roads. Take more straight lines and less lane changes, in general, do not overtake, when driving on ice and snow curves or ramps, slow down in advance and pass in one breath. When the road surface is frozen, the vehicle should be immediately driven to the service area or parking area, and the tire chain should be installed or replaced with snow tires in time.
Turn slowly
When turning, turn slowly, do not slam and turn, use hand brakes when stopping, brake and slow down when using foot brakes, and do not stomp to death. Many people are accustomed to gently taking the brakes to slow down during the turn and reduce the gear in the corner, which is a big taboo for driving on snow days.
Empty-block snooping is prohibited
When going uphill and downhill, let the low gear pass smoothly and do not change gears in the middle. In the process of going uphill, beware of vehicles turning off, and it is forbidden to slip in empty gear when going downhill. Start on ice or on snow that has been compacted, and if you slip, try starting in second gear. In any case, always keep on gear.
Don't be nervous about slipping
In case of side slip or tail flicking phenomenon on the way, do not panic, at this time should lightly close the throttle and then slightly return to the positive direction, in the steering and return to the positive continuous adjustment, but do not too large, to no more than the normal driving position of the wheel for the limit. After the vehicle is back in place, gently press the brakes until the whole situation is completely under control. Do not slam on the brakes when there is a side slip or tail flick, which will cause the vehicle to lose control and cause accidents. Manual transmission vehicles without ABS system should be braked "one loose and one step" when stepping on the brakes. Vehicles equipped with ABS braking systems must be pressed to the bottom once when braking, while controlling the steering wheel.
Slow lift clutch, light oil
Drivers who drive manual vehicles should remember to lift the clutch slowly and lightly dispense fuel. If the automatic gear is turned on, the gear should be locked in the low speed gear, and if it has a snow mode function, it should be opened in time. During the driving process, it is necessary to smoothly decelerate and lightly press the brakes, and absolutely do not start or brake urgently on the slippery road surface of the ice and snow.
