What are the precautions for driving in snowy days?

In winter, we have to drive when it snows. So what are the precautions for driving in snowy days? The following is what I collected about driving in snowy days, for reference only. Welcome to reading.

1, the most important thing to drive in snowy days is to slow down. Only driving slowly can avoid accidents. Especially on the snowy road, we must slow down and pass through the icy road smoothly.

2. sudden braking is the most taboo when driving in snowy days, which can easily lead to sideslip or rear-end collision. Even if the vehicle has ABSEBD, the risk factor is high. Therefore, it is safer to brake slowly, that is, lightly step on the brake, then lift your foot and click a few times.

3. The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the snowmobile is very large, and the glass of the snowmobile is easy to fog, which leads to blurred vision. It is necessary to turn on the defogging function of the window in time (if any), or turn on the air conditioner and dry it with a towel. Make sure you have a clear line of sight before you can get on the road safely.

Pay special attention when turning in snowy days. Nowadays, many pedestrians ride bicycles or electric cars on the rampage. If you don't let them go first, it's easy to have an accident, especially in rainy and snowy days, and the road can't stop. So the car should avoid pedestrians and vehicles when turning.

The roads in many places are frozen in snowy days, and some places even have a thick layer of ice and ice. If the chassis is very low, do not pass, so as not to jam or drag the chassis.

6, snow wiper is easy to freeze, so don't use the wiper before thawing, so as not to damage the motor. Try to wipe the glass manually with a wet cloth, and use the wiper only after the snow or ice on the front windshield melts.

7. If the vehicle is parked in the open air for a long time when it snows, the brake disc and handbrake will easily freeze. If there is abnormal noise when the vehicle starts, do not start the vehicle forcibly first. You should check whether the brake disc is frozen. If it is frozen, you can shake the ice by hitting the hub with a wooden stick.

8. Because the temperature is very low in winter, engine oil, handbrake and snow on the car body will make it difficult to start, so if it is a manual transmission model, it is recommended that the owner step on the clutch, so that the car is more likely to hit. Low temperature will make the engine oil sticky and the hand brake easy to freeze, so before starting, move the car back and forth several times to restore the condition before starting.

9. Before departure, the snow on the windshield, headlights and rearview mirror must be removed to ensure that the line of sight will not be affected while driving.

10, snow-covered roads will make it difficult for cars to start. In order to enter the driveway smoothly, it is best to move the car back and forth a little, or use a snow shovel to clear the snow in front of the car.

1 1. Lightly step on the accelerator after ignition, and don't let the wheels idle, or the wheels will sink deeper and deeper.

12, remember not to accelerate quickly when driving, because the braking distance on the snowy road is nearly 50 meters, and it is easy to have a car accident due to careless operation. Therefore, you should drive smoothly and don't drive back and forth. Try to avoid overtaking, minimize braking times, and especially avoid using emergency braking.

13. Don't pass blindly when turning. Ramps, forks and bridges are covered with ice and snow. Novices had better not drive on the road in snowy days. If you are on the road, you can change to the auxiliary road when you pass the overpass to avoid the danger of getting on and off many times.

14, you should use low gear to pass smoothly when going up and down the slope, and it is not advisable to shift gears in the middle. Prevent flameout when going uphill, and absolutely forbid neutral taxiing when going downhill.

15, it is better to add some counterweight to the car. When the weight of the car increases, the braking distance will be shorter.

16. Once the vehicle skids out of control, immediately release the brakes and slightly turn the steering wheel to adjust the direction of the vehicle. At the same time, lightly brake and slowly brake.

17, visibility is generally low in snowy days, so attention should be paid to the correct use of lighting. First, turn on the fog lights and low beam lights to help the driver look ahead and make the driver see the situation ahead more clearly. The second is to turn on the position lights and the front and rear position lights to indicate the existence of their own vehicles, so that the vehicles driving back and forth can see their specific positions and traffic conditions, so that they can take corresponding measures.

18. It is very important to keep a safe distance when driving on a snowy highway. Because the road surface is slippery in snowy days, its braking distance is five to six times longer than that of dry asphalt road. It is not advisable to take sudden braking in snowy days to prevent the vehicle from slipping. Visibility is also low on snowy days. According to the regulations, when the visibility is less than 200 meters, you must keep a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle in front. Visibility is less than 100 meters, and it is necessary to keep a distance of more than 50 meters from the vehicle in front. Visibility is less than 50 meters, so you should leave from the expressway. The safety distance between the expressway and the preceding vehicle in snowy days should consider both visibility and road slip.

19, avoid hitting the steering wheel on the ice. When you need to turn, you should also slow down first, appropriately increase the turning radius and slow down the steering wheel, especially on mountainous roads in the suburbs. Sometimes the ice and snow roads are discontinuous. When turning a corner, it is best to take measures in advance and complete it at a discontinuity. Make sure there is no snow or thin ice on the soles when driving.

20, uphill speed as fast as possible within a reasonable range. When it is necessary to drive on a slope covered with snow and ice, the adhesion of the vehicle is seriously insufficient due to snow and ice, so the vehicle needs to maintain a certain speed when going uphill.

2 1. When the vehicle skids, turn the steering wheel gently in the skidding direction. After the vehicle returns to the correct position, gently brake until the whole situation is completely controlled, and then continuously brake (if there is ABS equipment, you need to pedal the brakes to the end).
