Approaching the New Year, many people who are working outside only need to stick to it for a few more days to enjoy a beautiful and pleasant Spring Festival holiday. However, as time goes by, from January 28, the Hunan region where we are located is about to usher in the first snow of the new year, which naturally makes it more difficult for many people to return home.
Specifically, from January 28, there will be blizzards and heavy snowfall in some parts of Hunan, of which there will be moderate to heavy snow in the area north of central Hunan, of which there will be heavy snowfall and localized heavy rain in southern Xiangxizhou, southern Zhangjiajie, southern Changde, Yiyang, northern Yueyang and northern Huaihua; sleet or freezing rain in southern Huaihua, Shaoyang, eastern Loudi, northern Hengyang and northern Yongzhou will turn to moderate snow; and there will be light rain or sleet in other areas. In addition, on January 29, the snowfall in Hunan Province will continue to expand, so it is estimated that this snowfall will also affect most parts of Hunan.
For this snowfall weather process, Hunan Province has also launched a low-temperature rain, snow and freezing level four emergency response. You know, by January 30, the minimum temperature in Hunan Province will drop to -4 °C ~ -2 °C, so such a very low temperature situation is naturally very inconvenient for people who want to drive home a few days before the New Year. Since the rain and snow weather is inevitable, today we will provide the majority of car owners and friends with the matters that need to be paid attention to when driving on snowy days at 8 o'clock, and we hope that everyone can go home safely and have a good year.
1, snow days before driving must be hot car
Although the current car basically does not need to be hot, but for those who have been parked for a long time and have not driven much, it is best to try to heat up for 20 or 30 seconds before driving in the winter. After all, it takes some time for the interior of the engine to be lubricated by oil, so a hot car for twenty or thirty seconds will obviously only be of better help to driving, so pay attention to it.
2, snow days the temperature is low, remember to open the window to remove fog
When driving in winter, although many people will turn on the air conditioner, they often forget to turn on the warm air defogging switch. So at this time, what we have to do is to open the button with the de-fog marking in the car. In this way, the water vapor in the car will evaporate after a while, and it will not let us have a windshield fogging phenomenon during the driving process, which is more conducive to the safety of our driving.
3. Use the inner loop as much as possible on snow days
Don't look at the snow outside when the snow day is a snowy day, but in fact, the air quality on snow days is sometimes worse, and at this time, if your vehicle opens the external circulation, the pollutants outside the car will be transmitted to your car, which is not conducive to good health. Therefore, when driving on snow days, we must also try to open the internal circulation mode of the air conditioner, and then briefly open the external circulation to change the air in the car when the air is good, which is more conducive to maintaining a better air cleanliness in our car.
4. Check the wiper before driving on snow days to ensure that it can work normally and ensure a clear field of vision
Many car owners after the car is covered with snow, hurriedly remove part of the snow on the front windshield and start driving on the road, for this situation, in fact, we are very disapproval. Because this will have the risk of poor vision, it is also easy to cause driving safety hazards. The right thing to do is to clear the snow from the front and rear windshields before driving, and then clear the snow from the two rearview mirrors and the two front doors and windows to ensure a basic clear view.
In addition, after clearing the snow, it is also necessary to check whether the wiper can work properly to prevent the wiper from falling on its own vehicle due to the snow on other vehicles during the driving process, but the wiper cannot work, causing a traffic accident. Therefore, I hope that everyone should keep this in mind.
5, snow days before driving must check the tire pressure, too high or too low is not OK, standard tire pressure can be
The fifth point is that we must check the tire pressure before driving, pay attention to too high or too low is not OK, too high is easy to cause the vehicle to slip, too low is easy to break the tire, so remember to keep the vehicle outside a standard tire pressure category. General vehicles will be marked on the main driver's door frame, and everyone can hit the appropriate tire pressure according to that value.
6. Do not drive too fast on snow days, and pay attention to keeping a distance from the car in front
After completing the above precautions, we should also pay attention to the speed of the car not to be too fast when driving on the road normally, because the snow road surface is usually relatively slippery, and the friction coefficient between the wheel and the ground becomes smaller, so the braking distance will become longer accordingly, which requires us to pay attention to reasonable control of the speed. In addition, the distance between driving and driving on snow days should not be too short, and it is necessary to try to leave sufficient braking distance for yourself, so as to predict in advance to prevent rear-end car.
7. Driving on snow days should not wear warm shoes with too thick soles, which is easy to cause the perception of the depth of the throttle is not obvious
Point 7 is mainly for many female car owners, some female car owners in the winter often wear shoes with a very thick or warm sole, then it should be noted that some shoes with too thick soles or long boot barrels will cause our feet to perceive the depth of the throttle is not obvious and the transition between the brakes and the accelerator pedal is inconvenient. Therefore, when driving in winter, we drivers should try to wear comfortable and lightweight shoes to prevent the occurrence of the above situations.
8. Driving on snow days must pay attention to the six roads, and always pay attention to pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles on the road
Finally, rain and snow are often less visibility, plus sometimes it is rain and fog, so the road conditions and lines of sight will be relatively poor, so at this time we should be more careful and cautious when driving. Try to look at the six roads when driving, do not pick up the mobile phone at will, for the pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles that may come out at any time on the road, also try to avoid them, after all, people are outside the car to endure the cold, and you are sitting in a car with heating, so it is still generous, you can let it go first.
In general, snow day driving everyone must pay attention to safety, in addition, today we mentioned the 8 points of snow day driving precautions everyone can remember, as long as we are driving on the road are well-behaved, then I believe that we will have a lot less traffic accidents when driving on snow days. Finally, it will soon be the New Year, although many of us may encounter snowy weather on the return trip this year, but the so-called "Ruixue Mega Year", so you don't have to worry too much. As long as you remember the 8 major precautions we mentioned above, I believe that everyone can go home safely for a good year, and we will always accompany you and me together.
