Before driving on snowy days, please check the wiper and lights, and turn on the contour or low beam lights when driving.
Snow travel safety is the first priority
So what do you need to pay attention to?
If you want to know, let's look down together!
Maintain a good view
Driving on snowy days is important to keep the front windshield, rearview mirrors and vehicle mirrors clear and clean. If there is fog in the front windshield, emergency defogging requires opening the air conditioner and blowing the air conditioner to the front windshield; if the rear windshield has fog, open the rear windshield heater to eliminate the fog as soon as possible so as not to see the movement of the car coming from behind.
Maintain a safe distance
Due to the low resistance of the snowy road, the driving accelerator should be light and maintain a sufficient safe distance.
Accelerate moderately when starting
The adhesion of the ice and snow road surface is very low, and the drive wheel is easy to slip and idling when starting, so it is necessary to refuel the vehicle in moderation when starting to avoid side slip.
Maintain an even driving speed
Driving on the ice and snow road, we must maintain a uniform driving speed, even if it is necessary to increase the speed, but also to slowly accelerate, such as slamming on the accelerator, the car speed up too fast, will cause tire slippage, serious will cause the car to slip, it is easy to cause traffic accidents.
Avoid emergency steering
Driving on ice and snow roads, you should also pay attention to avoid hitting the steering wheel, otherwise it is also easy to cause the vehicle to lose control.
The ramps are extra attentive
Driving on the slope in the case of ice on the road is more dangerous, and the driver should avoid stopping in the slope when going uphill, so as not to make it difficult to start by slipping. When going downhill, the manual transmission car can use the low gear to make the engine auxiliary brake, so that the speed of the car is slowed down and the vehicle is avoided from skidding.
Reasonable use of hand brakes
The braking principle of hand brake is different from that of the foot brake, especially for some freight vehicles, which will play a certain auxiliary role.
Give way to pedestrians
Driving on snowy and snowy roads should also pay attention to pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles and motorcycles on the road. Due to the rain and snow weather in the pedestrian umbrella, cyclists wear poncho, their vision, hearing, reaction, etc. are restricted, the driver should slow down, patiently avoid, if necessary, you can choose a safe place to park, must not be impatient to rush the line.
