We are driving on an icy road. Are there any precautions?

What are the precautions for driving in freezing weather?

First, give up a small number of tires to increase the friction between tires and roads. When we are driving on icy roads, we should install snow chains on the wheels. Vehicles with pneumatic braking should prevent the cylinder control valve and brake pipeline from freezing to cause braking failure.

Secondly, when driving in freezing weather, you should slow down and keep enough distance from the car in front. After winter, many drivers and friends will encounter this icy road. When driving on this road, you should keep a safe distance from the car in front. Moreover, if the road surface freezes when driving, you must observe the brake lights of the front car. If the front car brakes, you should be ready to start braking at this time. When driving on icy roads, you must slowly step on the accelerator pedal, otherwise the driving wheels will easily slip.

Third, when driving in dangerous areas such as detours, ramps and bridge decks, you should pay more attention to choosing a good driving route. If the road conditions are slightly suspicious, stop immediately and continue driving after checking clearly and confirming safety. When passing through the eaves under the bridge, you should quickly pass or detour to avoid the sudden melting and falling off of the frozen icicles above, causing injuries to people and vehicles. Pay attention to the front and three rearview mirrors when driving, and pay attention to the vehicles on the left and right sides. When turning, avoid sharp turns to prevent side slip and braking. Don't be too hasty, never change your mind. Brake early. If the vehicle speed is high or you need to brake as soon as possible, you can directly downshift and brake.

Finally, you must pay attention to safety when driving in freezing weather. When passing through icy sections, bridges and mountain roads, pay attention to the speed, keep the distance between vehicles and operate smoothly. Don't drive too fast, accelerate too hard, brake suddenly or change lanes and turn at will. Before driving, you should master the weather, road conditions and other information through TV and radio in advance, and make preparations in advance. Please cooperate with the traffic police at the traffic control section.
