Driving in rain and snow
WINTER
In winter, the phenomenon of rain and snow weather and road ice increases, bringing many difficulties to drivers, how to correctly master the driving skills of rain and snow roads to ensure the driving safety of themselves and their families? Xiaobian sorted out a few tips for everyone from racing drivers, let's learn it together!
NO.1
Start the car in freezing cold weather
Step on the clutch in neutral gear, do not step on the accelerator, instantaneous fire without playing, at least every time every time for 10 seconds, at least 3 times. The aim is to start the lubrication system. After the fire, continue to step on the clutch in neutral gear and idly heat the car. Loosen the clutch after a minute, and if you can't hold it, step on it a little longer. Until after catching the fire, loosen the clutch and continue to idly heat the car for about 2 minutes.
NO.2
Ice and snow pavement to get started
Start on slippery and hard ice and snow roads, hang 2 gears, small throttle. When the clutch is lifted to the linkage, pause, and then slightly lift a little, at this time if the car moves, continue to lift up, slowly refuel, drive away. If the wheels slip and can't move, step on the clutch pedal and change to 1st gear. Then lift and step again, so that the car shakes back and forth, and gradually expands the amplitude of the back and forth shaking with the shaking rhythm.
When the soft snow just fell reaches more than 10 cm, after stopping, start again, also hang 2 gears, small throttle, slowly lift the clutch, and start slowly. It should be noted that the wheels should be turned slowly, and do not turn fast. If you operate according to the usual road surface, the wheels will slip and idling and will not move. If the snow slips, step back a bit and try again after slipping away.
NO.3
Decelerate, steer slowly, and walk in grooves
Vehicles driving on smooth ice and snow roads are very easy to lose control, and when they need to slow down, they can't rush to collect oil, let alone step on the foot brakes! Only the method of downshifting can be used to slow down, so that the braking force of the engine in the low gear can be slowed down. When the speed is very slow, you can collect oil, neutral gear, and step on the foot brake. On smooth ice and snow roads, slow down by lifting the throttle and stepping on the brakes when the speed is fast, the consequences are unimaginable!
Slow down before turning, slow down the steering wheel, appropriately increase the turning radius, and steer evenly. Hitting the direction sharply will cause the steering wheels to slip and lose direction control.
When driving, try to take the down-direction ruts and grooves on the ice and snow road, at least to ensure that one wheel is walking in the ruts, which can prevent skidding. Do not go where there are no ruts or other vehicles covered by heavy snow.
NO.4
How to get rid of slipping out of control
Get rid of the car in the ice and snow road out of control slippage situation, do not slam on the brakes, but click on the accelerator. Use intermittent refueling to speed up, let the driving wheels find the power point of action, and restore the driving ability, so that the car can restore the ability to control the direction.
NO.5
Make sure your line of sight is clear
Check the wiper before going out to ensure that it can work normally and scrape away the rainwater; if the window fogs up during the driving, the air outlet mode can be adjusted to the defogging mode, turn on the cold or warm air, and disperse the fog. It should be noted that the fog will be thicker in the early stage of warm air defogging, and it is necessary to choose a safe place to stop and remove the fog, and then drive on the road after the vision is clear.
NO.6
Turn slowly and don't rush to hit the direction
Driving around in rain and snow is easy to slide sideways, so be slow when turning, and then return to normal speed after cornering. If you can't see the opposite curve, you should honk your horn to remind the opposite car to pay attention. Hit the steering wheel gently, don't slam the steering wheel and slam on the brakes.
NO.7
Increase the distance between the front and rear
On rain and snow days, the road surface is slippery, and the braking distance is longer than that of dry road surfaces, please widen the distance with the car, leave time and space for yourself to deal with emergencies, and avoid accidents.
NO.8
Use lights correctly
Rainfall causes visibility to decrease, so turn on headlamps, marker lights, and front and rear fog lights in time, not only for illumination, but also to make other traffic participants notice your presence. In addition, it should be noted that high beams should not be used when driving in the same direction and the front car at close range.
NO.9
Be careful when it is waterlogged
Encounter water surface to carefully observe the water depth, you can refer to the front car through the situation to judge, if the front car passes, it is safe (of course, if the front car is a large car, chassis high off-road, SUV, etc., when the reference is not appropriate), if the water depth is detoured. Pass slowly so as not to provoke a splash of water into the engine.
