There is a knack for driving on snowy roads.

The heavy snow has caused many car owners a headache. According to a survey data, accidents in snowy days are dozens of times higher than usual. How to reduce accidents by driving after snow? To this end, the reporter interviewed Li Technician, the chief technician of Beijing Lexus after-sales service department. He thinks that the most important thing to drive after snow is to drive slowly, and some driving skills are also essential.

When the road surface is slippery after snow, the vehicle should drive at medium and low speed to avoid sudden acceleration and sudden braking. When it is necessary to accelerate or decelerate, step on or release the accelerator slowly to prevent the driving wheel from slipping due to sudden acceleration or deceleration. Try to avoid overtaking on icy roads. If you don't need to overtake, you must choose a spacious, flat and less icy road, and you are not allowed to overtake by force.

According to reports, driving on ice and snow roads, due to the small road adhesion coefficient, the driving stability of vehicles is greatly affected, and the braking distance is greatly lengthened. The characteristics of automobile braking on ice and snow pavement are as follows: when the speed is 10 km, the braking and direction are basically normal; When the speed reaches more than 30 kilometers per hour, the efficiency of direction and braking will be seriously reduced.

Secondly, when driving in snowy days, you should slow down, slow down before turning, hold the steering wheel firmly and turn back slowly. Under the condition of not affecting the oncoming traffic, the turning radius should be increased as much as possible when turning on ice and snow roads to reduce the centrifugal force during turning, and sharp turning and sharp turning are prohibited to prevent side slip and side swing.

In addition, drivers must fully consider others when driving in snowy days. When you see others driving slowly, you should understand, don't flash lights and whistle to urge. Bicycles and pedestrians may accidentally fall down because of the slippery road. Pay attention to observation in residential areas, hutongs and mixed road sections, keep a certain distance from pedestrians and non-motor vehicles, and would rather stop for pedestrians than grab roads, otherwise accidents may occur at any time. "In the cold season, people often wear hats or wrap their heads with scarves, which makes their hearing and hearing ineffective. At the same time, pedestrians and bicycles are prone to slip on icy roads, so it is necessary to relax the lateral safety distance and take preventive measures in advance to prevent accidents.

It is difficult to drive on a snowy slope. When it is necessary to drive on a slope covered with ice and snow, due to the serious lack of adhesion of ice and snow, the vehicle needs to maintain a certain speed when going uphill. When the car goes uphill, it mainly avoids stopping, because it will greatly increase the difficulty of starting. If the owner follows other vehicles uphill, it is best to wait until the preceding vehicle reaches the top of the slope for safety reasons.

If the vehicle is parked outdoors after snow, a layer of ice will form on the front windshield of the vehicle. The common deicing skill is to start the engine first, turn on the warm air in the car, and slowly deice with an ice shovel dedicated to automobile glass. If you don't have a snow shovel, you can use a bigger cardboard instead.

Be sure to clear all the snow on the glass and headlights, and pay special attention not to clean the snow on the roof because of laziness. If the snow on the roof is not cleaned up, the front and rear windshields will be blocked when driving, and the remaining snow may form a blind angle of the driver's sight when driving, which will affect the driving safety.
