What should I pay attention to when driving in winter?

1. Drivers must attach great importance to driving safety in special weather in winter and improve their awareness of driving safety; When driving; Concentrate, control the speed, standardize driving, and deal with emergencies such as skidding, sideslip, deviation, pedestrians and non-motor vehicles crossing when starting, stopping, turning, changing lanes and passing cars; It is forbidden to start practicing on the ramp in snow and ice weather.

2. Before getting out of the car, the driver must carefully check the safety equipment on the car: steering, braking, lighting, instruments, speakers, wipers, etc. Should be complete and effective. When driving in foggy days, you should clean the windshield and headlight glass, turn on anti-fog lights, low beam lights, front and rear small lights, width lights and taillights according to regulations, make full use of lights to improve visibility and see the dynamics of roads, vehicles and pedestrians ahead.

3. Drive smoothly. When driving in winter, you should pay attention to the smooth speed and uniform operation, such as sudden acceleration, sudden braking and sharp turning, which are all taboos for driving in snowy days. Accelerate smoothly during the journey and drive at medium and low speeds.

4. Come on slowly. When starting and accelerating, refueling should be light and slow to prevent the tire from slipping and sideslip. Because you refuel too fast, the driving force of the vehicle is greater than the adhesion of the road, resulting in idling of the driving wheel and lateral deviation of the vehicle. Therefore, the throttle must be controlled so that the driving force is less than the adhesion of the road surface to avoid or reduce the occurrence of skidding and sideslip.

5. Slow down skillfully. When slowing down, we should make full use of the resistance of the engine to slow down, that is, quickly release the accelerator without stepping on the clutch, so that the engine speed will drop immediately, forcing the driving wheel speed to drop and slowing down the vehicle. If you need to use the brakes to stop, you should also use the engine brakes to slow down first, and then gently step on the brakes. It is absolutely forbidden to take emergency braking on icy roads to prevent vehicles from slipping. Cars without ABS should pay special attention to prevent sideslip. When parking, try to choose an open field without ice and snow, tighten the handbrake and pad the wheels if necessary.

6. Clever uphill and downhill. It is difficult to drive on a snowy slope, so it is necessary to downshift when going up and down the slope.

7. Turn slowly. When turning, you must first slow down, appropriately increase the turning radius, and slowly turn the steering wheel. The steering wheel should be operated smoothly and gently, otherwise it will slip and the rear of the car will be thrown out. The reason of sideslip when turning is that the steering wheel deflects sideways due to excessive steering, which makes the front resistance of the vehicle suddenly increase and the rear of the vehicle is thrown out under the action of inertia. Once sideslip occurs, it can be relieved by proper steering.

8. foresee more. Due to the slippery characteristics of ice and snow, the vehicle can't operate according to your will, which will cause great difficulty in driving. Therefore, you should be very careful when driving, have a high degree of foresight, predict the upcoming events, and strive for time, so as to take measures in advance when the events occur to prevent accidents due to inaccurate operation.

9. When driving, the driving route should be determined according to street trees, road signs and canals. , and drive along the road center or where the snow is shallow. If the road surface is inclined or arched, you should choose a flat place or the middle of the road; If there is a rut, you should follow it; When the rut is cold and shallow, you should ride it.

10, increase the distance between cars. Because of the small resistance on the ice and snow road, it is necessary to avoid being too close to the car and minimize overtaking. The braking distance of snowy road surface is 3 times longer than that of dry road surface and 2 times longer than that of wet road surface. The braking distance on icy road surface is 4 times longer than that on dry road surface and 2.7 times longer than that on wet road surface. Therefore, the speed should be strictly controlled when driving on ice and snow roads. The speed must not exceed 20 kilometers per hour. The following distance should be kept above 50 meters.

1 1, slow down. In case of rain, snow and fog, the visibility should be within 30m, the maximum speed of motor vehicles should not exceed 20km/h, the visibility should be within15m, and the speed should not exceed 5km/h. If the visibility is within 5m, you should choose a suitable place, park on the roadside and turn on the front small lights and rear taillights to attract the attention of passing vehicles and pedestrians, and then drive after the fog subsides or the visibility is greatly improved.
