Snowfall causes the roads to become icy and slippery, and traffic safety risks increase. In order to ensure the safety of the masses, the Wuwei Public Security Traffic Police remind you that driving on snow days should pay attention to the following matters:
01 Driving on snow days, please pay attention to check tires, brakes, lights and other devices in advance, 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.
02 Snowy road slippery, please pay attention to road condition information in time to minimize driving travel. Driving on ice and snow roads should concentrate attention, maintain a safe distance, drive smoothly at low speed, take point braking or downshift deceleration when braking, slow down and increase the turning radius when turning, decelerate in advance in case of situations, and avoid hitting the direction and stepping on the brakes.
03 The friction coefficient of snow and icy roads is low, which reduces the braking efficiency of the vehicle and causes skidding. Traffic police tips, driving through sharp bends, slippery road surface and other roads that are easy to cause slippage, it is necessary to strictly control the speed, the vehicle slides laterally, and must not turn sharply in direction or emergency braking.
04 Snowfall causes the road surface to be icy and slippery, and the traffic safety risk is increased. When the vehicle approaches unsafe road sections such as sharp bends and ramps, it should slow down and slow down, and do not forcibly overtake or force the car. Do not glide in neutral gear when going downhill, pay attention to controlling the speed when going uphill, and avoid pressing the accelerator and rushing at high speed. In case of emergency, please brake in time and do not rush to hit the direction.
05 Driving on snow days should maintain a low speed and smooth driving, do not randomly merge and overtake. When starting on the ice and snow road, you should slowly refuel, slowly lift the clutch, maintain a safe speed and distance during the driving process, try to take a rutted route, and do not easily try to walk the road section covered by ice and snow and the road conditions are unknown.
06 Ice and snow road driving should be away from pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles, to prevent vehicles from slipping or pedestrians falling down and causing traffic accidents.
07 Driving on ice and snow roads, increase the distance from the front car in advance when going uphill; choose a lower gear when going downhill, and use the brakes with caution. Snowy road slippery Please pay attention to the safe driving snow, snowy road surface will generally appear at the beginning of the snow or not cleared in time. The snow on the road area is generally looser, and the vehicle has greater driving resistance and emits a loud noise when driving.
Snow compaction pavement road area snow is not cleared, pedestrian vehicles repeatedly crushed. The snow will only be compacted, the road surface will become more and more slippery, the vehicle will slip from a fast start, and the braking distance will increase significantly. Driving on these roads, do not hit the direction with the big foot throttle, stabilize the direction and throttle or drive safely.
After a long period of crushing, melting and then freezing, the snow becomes hard ice and is firmly fixed to the ground. Due to the long-term rolling of the vehicle, the hard ice surface is usually densely uneven, and the friction coefficient of the road surface is seriously reduced. The vehicle is difficult to start and brake, and it is necessary to slow down and slow down.
Ice pavement This ice section is usually high in the daytime temperature rain or sleet, and then at night the temperature is low, the water on the pavement will freeze, generally appearing in the winter and almost spring. When encountering such road conditions, it is recommended to reduce driving trips.
