Snow and ice weather

It has caused some resistance to travel traffic

A little carelessness can easily lead to traffic accidents

Precautions for driving on snowy days

1. Hot car and car cleaning

When you go out, you find that the car has been covered by a large area of snow, and it is recommended to heat the car first, mainly to make the oil better lubricated, so that the engine can enter the best state; secondly, let the water temperature rise to ensure that the heating system can be better used in the car. At the same time, take out the cleaning equipment to sweep away the floating snow as much as possible, especially the position of the front and rear lights, windows and rearview mirrors must be as clean as possible. If necessary, you need to turn on the running lights and fog lights while driving.

2. Slow down

The most important thing to drive on snow days is to slow down, especially on the road where the snow is icy, be sure to slow down, steadily pass the frozen road, do not brake sharply, it is easy to cause skidding or rear-end, you can also follow the trajectory of the front car, to avoid straying into potholes or waterlogged sections.

3. Do not panic when the vehicle is slipping

The most dangerous thing about snow is that the road is slippery, and the steering wheel should be gently rotated in the direction of slippage when driving, and then gently press the brakes after the vehicle returns to the right. Vehicles equipped with ABS brake system and body stability control system must be stepped on to the end once when stepping on the brakes, and the steering wheel must be controlled at the same time, and the "point brake" method cannot be used, otherwise it is more dangerous. It is relatively safe to add snow chains to the tires or use snow tires.

4. Maintain a safe distance

Driving on the ice and snow road, the probability of rear-end accidents is much greater than usual, the driving distance should be reserved for a larger distance than usual, and it will be difficult to control the distance of the brakes if it is too close to the car, once the correct measures are not taken, it is easy to lead to accidents.

5. Keep the line of sight clear in the car

The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the snow car is very large, the glass of the car is easy to fog, resulting in blurred vision, to open the window defogging function in time or turn on the air conditioning, dry with a towel, etc., to ensure that the driving vision is clear in order to be safe on the road.

6. Turn on the lights in time to give warnings

Generally, the visibility is low on snow days, and attention should be paid to the correct use of lights. One is to turn on the fog lights and low beam lights to help the driver look at the situation ahead, so that the driver can see the road conditions in front of him clearly; the second is to turn on the contour lights and front and rear position lights to indicate the position of their vehicles, so that the vehicles driving in front and behind can easily take corresponding measures.

Ride and walk with extra care

Cycling and walking in rainy and snowy weather, do not bury your head in order to avoid rain, but should pay more attention to the surrounding situation than on a sunny day, and consciously abide by the law.

Cycling on rainy and snowy days, it is best to wear a raincoat and a poncho, do not hold an umbrella in one hand, and ride with a handle in the other.

Do not organize scarves and clothes during the ride, and park your car in a safe area to make these preparations.

Bicycle tires should not be inflated too much, which can increase friction with the ground and is not easy to slip.

When riding on rainy and snowy days, you should keep a large distance from the vehicles and pedestrians in front of you to avoid accidents.
