Recently, the province has large-scale snowfall, most of the road sections of the road area snow, some sections of the province traffic control, please pay attention to the road condition information in time, plan the driving route in advance, arrange the itinerary reasonably, and try to avoid the road section affected by the snow weather. Snowy driving tips, please check:
01
Turn on the headlights
On snow days, visibility is low, and the driver should turn on fog lights and low beam lights to facilitate observation of the situation ahead. At the same time, it is necessary to turn on the contour lights and the front and rear position lights, so that the front and rear vehicles can see their specific location and traffic conditions, and facilitate the adoption of corresponding measures.
02
Drive smoothly
When driving on snowy days, avoid sharp directions, sharp acceleration or sharp braking, and drive at the lowest possible speed. It is best to pre-pedal a few times before braking, reminding the rear car to slow down and avoid rear-end collisions. During driving, the steering wheel should be as smooth as possible to avoid vehicle side-sliding.
03
Maintain traction
On snowy days, especially when the road surface is icy or down steep slopes, proper traction should be maintained. Manual transmission vehicles can quickly turn the high speed gear into the low speed gear while stepping on the brake, lift the clutch pedal, and make the engine containment force and braking system effective at the same time.
04
Don't be nervous about slipping
Do not panic if you slip or tail off during the journey. After lightly closing the throttle, slightly return to the positive direction, and constantly adjust between steering and returning, but not too large. 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 sliding sideways or flicking the tail.
05
Slow down early
Through sharp bends, bridges, tunnels to decelerate in advance, because the sharp bends, bridges, tunnels in the snowfall and normal road nature is different, the degree of ice is different, the friction coefficient of the tire and the road surface when the vehicle passes will suddenly change, it is very easy to occur vehicle skidding, so it is necessary to reduce the speed in advance, maintain the speed of less than 10 kilometers per hour, and carefully pass at low speed.
06
Driving more prediction
When snow falls, keep a longer distance from the car in front of you and try to choose a familiar road section. If the car in front has a tendency to slow down and merge, it should be prepared to slow down in advance. Turn the turn signal in advance when turning or changing lanes, and try to keep the vehicle at a sufficiently safe distance from the outside of the curve when approaching the corner.
07
Wear colored glasses
Walking on the highway on snowy days, there are often blinding situations. Choosing to wear colored glasses can prevent glare and eye fatigue, which is more conducive to observing the situation ahead.
08
Find out about the weather
Before going out, understand the weather conditions and the road traffic along the way, so that you can adjust the itinerary in time. After getting on the highway, pay attention to the variable information board prompts of the traffic management department and follow the prompt information.
09
Adjust the air conditioning in the car to remove fog
When fog appears in the front windshield, it should be eliminated by adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner in the car, and must not take a cotton cloth or towel to wipe while driving.
10
Prepare emergency supplies appropriately
When traveling on snowy days, 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.
