It's snowing in the north, which is the best place to travel in winter. What should I pay attention to in traffic safety if I want to go to go on road trip there?

The winter weather in the north is cold, and there are many rainy and snowy days. There are the following points to pay attention to in go on road trip.

1. Preheating

In winter, the temperature is low, and the viscosity of lubricating oil increases, so it is not easy to flow. After starting the engine, keep the engine at about 11 rpm, and then start after the vehicle is warmed up. Don't step on the accelerator hard or let the engine rotate too fast. Preheating does not have to wait for the engine temperature to rise to the optimal temperature before starting, as long as the pointer of the thermometer starts to rise.

2. Starting

Starting in winter must be very gentle and slow, so that on the one hand, the load of the engine will be as small as possible when it does not reach the normal operating temperature, and on the other hand, the tire will have a gradual heating process when it is still in a hard state without heating, which is beneficial to the engine, tire and safety.

3. Shift gears

Shift gears frequently when driving in winter, especially when driving in remote mountainous areas in go on road trip. If you want to drive like a running-in car, you must pay attention to the selection of gears and the coordination of oil separation. Too low and too high gears will easily make the car out of control, which is particularly important when driving on ice and snow roads.

4. Driving

When driving in winter, especially when you are just on the road, you must try to make the car drive at a constant speed, and do not slam the gas and slow down, especially on the icy road. It is the principle of driving in winter to refuel gently and slow down early.

5. Route selection

Route selection for driving on icy roads is directly related to safety and smooth driving. Keep walking in a straight line as much as possible, and don't change lanes frequently. It is best to walk along the rut where there is rut. If there is no rut, pay attention to the surrounding reference objects, identify the direction of the road, beware of the potholes covered by snow, and try to drive in the middle of the road if possible.

6. Crossing cars

In general, crossing cars on the road in winter is the same as in other seasons, but when there is snow and ice, the crossing cars should slow down as early as possible, especially when the road is not very wide, and the crossing cars should try to be on a straight road and a slightly wider section.

7. Overtaking

In winter, the branches and leaves fall, and the vision is slightly better than other seasons, so it is very suitable for driving out for self-help travel. However, due to the open space and strong wind, it is difficult for the front car to hear the horn of the rear car, so you should use the horn and headlights to drive when overtaking, and then overtake when the front car makes a move to give way. In snowy weather, overtaking is very dangerous. If overtaking is really necessary, you should choose a wide and straight road section with enough safety distance on the opposite side, and don't change lanes immediately when overtaking the preceding car, but try to leave a safety distance for being overtaken.

8. Turn

When driving around a corner in winter, you should pay special attention to avoid the snow and ice in the corner. When the icy road cannot be avoided, you must reduce the gear and slow down early. Pass slowly. After the speed drops, you should take a big turn. Take a slow turn, don't turn sharply, and don't brake or put in neutral during the turn.

9. Braking

In winter, the word "early" and "soft" are highlighted in driving braking. Even when driving on the road without ice and snow, the effect of braking in winter is different from other seasons, and it is often a little "hard", so driving braking in winter should be lightly stepped earlier, which is better combined with downshifting braking. On the ice and snow road, try not to step on the brake, but use downshift to brake the engine. If necessary, you can also use the hand brake, but you should press the release button of the stop brake to prevent the hand brake from getting stuck. Never forget that before going on the road and when stopping for a rest, you must try to brake a few feet to avoid freezing and causing brake failure.

1. Parking

Pay attention to the location when parking in winter, and try to avoid potholes and damp places, so as not to freeze the wheels with accumulated water. In addition, when there is snow and ice, you should choose to park on the flat ground, not on the sloping land, so as to avoid difficulties in starting. Avoid places with fallen leaves of hay, and vehicles equipped with three-way catalytic devices should pay more attention to prevent the high-temperature three-way catalytic device shell from igniting hay.
