Snowfall continues! The Municipal Meteorological Observatory issued an early warning of road icing

Good weather in recent days,

Adds warmth to the festival.

Don't be careless

Rain and snow weather and Spring came together

Weihai Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow warning signal for road icing at 16:00 on February 4, 2022: Affected by cold air, tonight to tomorrow, there will be light to moderate snow in the northern part of the city, the northwest wind and coastal sea area 6 to 7 gusts of 8, inland 5 to 6 gusts of 7. At the same time, the temperature dropped significantly, with the lowest temperature -5 °C coastal and -8 °C inland. Affected by snowfall and cooling, there will be road icing and snow in the northern part of the city that has an impact on traffic. Please take precautions.

Take a look at Weihai for the next three days

On the 7th, it was cloudy, and the northwest wind shifted to westerly winds of 4 to 5, -4 °C ~ 4 °C.

The roads are slippery on snowy days

Poor driving sight

It has a certain impact on everyone's travel safety

How to travel safer on rainy and snowy days

Come and see

Snow travel will lead to a decrease in the friction coefficient of the road surface, difficulty in starting the vehicle, and an increase in the braking distance of the brakes, which is easy to cause traffic accidents. Under such road conditions, you should be extra careful when driving!

Maintain speed and distance

Snow driving, the first is slow, followed by and the car in front of you to maintain a sufficient distance, to brake in advance, when you find that the distance from the car in front is shortening, immediately collect the oil and slow down and put your feet on the brake pedal to prepare for braking, do not have a fluke mentality.

Be cautious when turning

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 taking the brakes lightly to slow down during the turn and downshifting in the corner, which is a big taboo for driving on rain and snow.

Do not change lanes frequently

As far as possible to keep a straight line of walking, do not change lanes frequently, it is best to walk along the ruts where there are ruts, pay attention to the surrounding references where there are no ruts, identify the direction of the road, beware of potholes in the snow cover, and try to drive in the middle of the road.

Avoid aggressive driving

Drivers and friends who drive manual vehicles must remember to lift the clutch slowly and give oil lightly. 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 turned on 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.

Use gears wisely

When you want to go up a steep slope, leave a good distance, use a low-stop throttle, and it is not appropriate to change gears in the middle. The low-speed wheel speed is low, it is not easy to slip, and the torque is large, so as to avoid the lack of strength to stop on the slope or slip.

Slow down tips

When decelerating, it is necessary to make full use of the resistance of the engine to decelerate, and loosen the throttle in advance to reduce the speed of the driving wheel. If you need to use the brake to stop, you must also use the engine brake to reduce the speed of the car, and then gently press the brake. Do not take emergency braking on snow and ice roads to prevent causing the vehicle to slip sideways.
