Despite the fact that spring has begun, snowfall still occurs in some cities. While snow brings us fresh air, it also adds a lot of safety hazards to our travel. Especially in road traffic, some roads and bridges have snow, and some sections of the road have dark ice.
So what are the precautions for driving on a snowy day? How do I get through icy or snowy roads correctly? What should I do if the vehicle gets out of control?
In this issue of "Military Television Encyclopedia", we invited Wang Chao, a brigade commander of the Shenyang Joint Logistics Support Center, to take you to understand how the car soldiers drove safely in snowy days.
What are the precautions for driving on snow days?
On ice and snow roads, it is more common for vehicles to start difficult to start. Therefore, when starting on ice and snow roads, the pressure to step on the accelerator is lighter.
In addition to avoiding hitting the steering wheel during driving, it is also important to control the speed and drive in the low gear as much as possible.
In the case of icy road surface or steep slopes of the vehicle, the engine traction should be used as much as possible to brake, and if the situation is urgent, the handbrake should be pulled to brake, because this is only the brake on the rear wheels, and will not cause the front wheels to lock and cause the direction to get out of control.
Driving on snowy days, "prejudgment" is essential
The "prejudgment" of driving on snow days is essential, and the speed should be reduced in advance before entering the bend, and it is not possible to step on the brakes to slow down after entering the corner.
During the driving, we should pay attention to avoid hitting the steering wheel sharply, and try to make the steering wheel smooth when turning. In particular, it should be reminded that the timing of returning to the right direction of the ice and snow pavement should be slightly earlier than the normal pavement.
Beware of "Dark Ice"
Dark ice refers to a winter phenomenon in which rain or snow melts, penetrates into the road structure, and freezes in a cold climate environment, resulting in a significant decrease in the anti-slip resistance of the road, which brings serious safety risks to driving.
Dark ice is thin, smooth and transparent, so it is not easy to spot and is very deceptive.
Emergency braking on dark ice roads is one of the most dangerous behaviors when driving, and in the case of fast speeds, it is recommended to slowly point the brakes to prevent the vehicle from slipping.
What should I do if the vehicle gets out of control?
The correct operation of the car after going uphill is to brake and step on, let the wheel stop turning, and then hang into the reverse gear, hang the reverse gear to let the vehicle regain control, and slowly slide down.
If the vehicle is out of control and runs rampant, tail flicking, the principle of control is to be fast, in which direction to flick the tail, immediately hit the steering wheel in which direction, while releasing the throttle to naturally slow down.
Maintenance and parking of vehicles in winter
After the vehicle is turned off on a snowy day, the wiper can stay at the maximum limit of the wiper, and then use the wiper to press the plastic film, etc., to prevent the snow from being too thick on the front windshield of the open-air overnight vehicle, and also to avoid the wiper and the front windshield from freezing together.
It is necessary to maintain the vehicle in advance when winter comes, so that the vehicle can be in the best working condition. If it is a northern area, it can be replaced with a lower viscosity oil according to actual needs.
While doing maintenance, the maintenance technician can also carry out the necessary inspection of the air conditioning system, tire condition, lighting system, etc. according to the needs of the winter car to ensure the safety of daily driving.
Finally, we should remind everyone that in heavy snow weather, vehicles should be avoided under trees or squatters and billboards, so as to avoid tree branches or roofs being crushed by snow and smashing vehicles.
