It also brings great inconvenience to travel
This winter driving safety tip
A must see
Precautions for driving in snowy weather
Slow down and change the brakes
The wheels on the ice and snow road are easy to slip, the vehicle should be slow during driving, avoid accelerating or braking suddenly, the accelerator should be slowly stepped down or released, and the braking should be mainly based on point brakes, and the light step should be lifted. Try to take rutted routes, and don't try to walk on sections that are covered in snow and ice and the road conditions are unknown.
Keep your distance between vehicles
The resistance of the ice and snow ground is very small, and it is difficult to brake the car in a short distance if the following distance is too close, which is easy to cause a rear-end accident. If it is snowing on the road and the line of sight will be blocked, be sure to give the car signal lights in advance to ensure that the surrounding vehicles can have enough time to react, and you should also pay attention to the status of the signal lights of the front and rear vehicles, and keep a safe distance in time.
Slow turns
When encountering curves, especially curves with large curves, be sure to slow down in advance, pay attention to the movements of other vehicles, especially when meeting cars in curves, please do not rush, do not urge, and drive slowly in an orderly manner.
Control the lights
If visibility is not good, or if the snow is falling, turn on the front and rear fog lights so that others can spot you in time.
What to do if you slip
If there is a side slip, the steering wheel should be steady, the steering wheel should be gently turned in the direction of the skidding, and after the vehicle is back to the right, then gently press the brakes until the whole situation is completely controlled.
Precautions for driving in foggy weather
Use lights properly
Drive at low speeds Keep your distance between vehicles
Try to avoid overtaking
Foggy weather has low visibility, which is not conducive to observing adjacent lanes and oncoming vehicles, so try to avoid overtaking. At the same time, you should not roll the line, otherwise there will be a risk of collision with the opposite vehicle, and you should slow down when driving on curves and slopes.
Don't brake suddenly
Sudden and sudden braking, the car behind often has no time to react, resulting in a rear-end collision. If you need to brake, you can tap the brake several times in a row, which not only serves as a reminder to the car behind, but also helps control the speed of the car.
Horn prompts
When driving in foggy weather, you can honk the horn if necessary, which helps other motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians to judge your position and effectively prevent accidents.
Clear the window fogging
Foggy days are more common in autumn and winter, when the temperature is low and the inside of the car is prone to fogging. Functions such as front and rear window defogging and rearview mirror defogging should be enabled in time, and the air outlet should be facing the front windshield to eliminate fogging in the car. If necessary, you can also prepare some defogging agent and put it in the car for later use.
Precautions for driving in rainy weather
Slow down your drive
To lower the speed of the car, do not slam on the brakes suddenly, otherwise it is easy to "deviate" when riding, and avoid sliding due to sudden braking when slowing down.
Don't be in a hurry when you turn
When driving in rainy weather, it is easy to slip sideways, so turn slowly and return to normal speed after turning. Hit the steering wheel gently, don't slam the steering wheel and slam on the brakes.
Increase the distance between vehicles
Because it is easy to slide sideways and extend the braking distance in rainy days, it is necessary to try not to drive side by side with other vehicles when driving, and appropriately increase the distance between the front and rear vehicles to avoid accidents such as scratching and rear-end collisions.
There are three taboos for driving in winter
1. Start quickly and press the brakes
In winter, the friction coefficient of the road surface is relatively low, and the big foot throttle is easy to cause tire idling and side slippage when starting. One of the biggest taboos in rainy and snowy weather is to apply the brakes hard, because this is likely to cause the vehicle to lose balance and control.
2. Turn to experience
Understeer and oversteer are more likely to occur in extreme weather, even if there is no snow on the ground in winter, the moisture in the air will condense on the ground, the tires will harden at low temperatures, and the grip will also decrease, so it is necessary to be slow when entering the corner, and the angle of entering the corner should not be too large.
3. Don't pay attention to the fogging of the car window
In winter, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, and the windows are fogged, which seriously obstructs the driver's vision. It is recommended to turn on the hot air system after the water temperature rises to normal temperature, so that it will not fog up again during driving, because the inside of the car is dry. You can also buy your own window defogging agent online.
