What should I pay attention to when driving on muddy roads?

What should I do if I drive through a muddy road and meet a truck? How to avoid slipping and sinking on this kind of road surface? Let's have a look.

The car got stuck in the muddy road.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Miss Yang and her friends went to a mountain village to play and had a road trip. Because the road through the mountain village is a muddy road, and it rained heavily during the Dragon Boat Festival, the road surface became very uneven after being crushed by vehicles. All the girls traveling with Miss Yang don't know how to cross the muddy road.

When the car was driving on the muddy road, Miss Yang changed the gear of the car to sports mode. As a result, the front tire of the car got stuck in the mud and could not refuel. Anxious Miss Yang and her companions had to invite several local villagers to push the cart together.

After this experience, Miss Yang has psychological barriers to driving on muddy roads. She said, "When you go to road trip, you will never drive on a dirt road again. Even if you want to go, be prepared to go again. Otherwise, it will not only waste time, but also affect the mood of travel. "

Do not shift gears and reduce tire pressure.

For this problem encountered by Miss Yang, Master Wei, an automobile maintenance professional, said that when the car is stuck on a muddy road, most drivers want to step on the accelerator to speed up the passage, but in fact, it is more difficult to pass on a muddy road.

The change of engine torque is a curve. With the increase of vehicle speed, the torque shows an upward trend, and when it reaches a certain speed, the torque decreases with the increase of vehicle speed. Therefore, muddy roads should be driven at medium and low speeds, so that the engine can output more torque. Drive in the mud and avoid shifting gears. When stepping on the clutch pedal, the vehicle is likely to stop because of excessive resistance. Once it stops in the mud, it is difficult for the vehicle to restart.

When the wheels on both sides slip and the whole vehicle is stuck on the muddy road, you can jack the vehicle with your own jack, put boards and stones under the wheels, and then try to start the vehicle.

If there is no jack, the best way to save yourself is to deflate the slipping tire. In this way, the tire with reduced tire pressure becomes flatter and the friction between the vehicle and the ground increases. Then step on the accelerator slowly, so that the original slipping wheel will not idle.

In addition, when you find the tire slipping in the mud, gently pull the hand brake and step on the accelerator. Because of the handbrake, one side of the slipping tire will stop idling, while the other side of the wheel will increase the driving force due to the increase of the throttle, which may drive out of the muddy road.

When the car is driving on a muddy road, don't slam the steering wheel at the end, because it is easy to slide sideways, and the most serious thing is that it will be more troublesome to get stuck in the mud.
