Recently, due to continuous snowfall, slippery roads, snow into ice, and low visibility in our city, the traffic has been greatly affected. Qingyang public security traffic police remind the majority of drivers that when driving on ice and snow roads, it is necessary to do "slow refueling, light deceleration, slow turning", reduce the speed, maintain the distance, and drive cautiously!
Precautions for safe driving on snowy days
First, pay attention to anti-slip and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration.
In the snow the ground is very slippery, anti-skid is the most important thing in the snow day driving, anti-skid is the core of all things in our driving, only the vehicle does not skid, slow does not matter at all.
To make the vehicle anti-skid, you must do to decelerate in advance, lightly step on the brakes in advance, if you suddenly accelerate or suddenly decelerate, it is dangerous, so remember to be light, to be slow, that is, to accelerate slowly, slow down, slow down, and step on the brakes a little lighter.
Second, the brakes should be used flexibly, do not suddenly slam on the brakes.
Generally on the road surface on snowy days, do not step on the brakes, it is very dangerous, it is recommended to use a point brake, step on a loose, if the vehicle has ABS equipment, you can step on the brake to the end. Slamming on the brakes may slide sideways at any time.
Third, the vehicle should turn at a small angle and do not hit the steering wheel.
Do not hit the steering wheel on snow days, because the grip of the tires drops, and the tires change direction inflexiscence, so the result of hitting the steering wheel is that the vehicle will slide sideways, or even overturn. This is dangerous.
Fourth, adjust the headlights, including near and far lights and fog lights.
On snow days, visibility is low, turn on the silhouette lights and front and rear position lights, which will remind the vehicles in front of and behind them, and show their vehicle position, which is very important for safety.
At the same time, you can bring colored glasses to avoid long-term glare in snow days.
Fifth, do not wipe the windshield with your hands while driving.
Because the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the snow car is large, it is easy to cause fog, some driver friends in the driving, especially on the high speed, anxious to wipe the glass with their hands, this is a very dangerous thing, should open the air conditioning of the car in time, eliminate the fog, so that the line of sight is clearer.
Sixth, you can try to follow the snow chain or snow tire, stop in a flat and safe place when parking, and maintain a safer driving distance farther away.
Snow days in the south generally do not use snow chains, if in the north encounter snow, with snow chains and snow tires is useful, if you want to stop, do not park the car on the ramp or low-lying place, to prevent the vehicle from skidding, to stop on the side of a safe and flat road.
At the same time, due to the slippery road on snowy days, the vehicle must maintain a safer driving distance to prevent the sudden skidding phenomenon of the vehicles in front of and behind, and leave enough distance to prevent control.
Also, snow day driving in the overtaking should also pay special attention, in the snow day driving, especially on the high speed, to try to control the speed, do not rush to overtake, not to overload, always maintain a vigilant mentality.
Therefore, we should especially remind the majority of riders that if you are a veteran, you should pay attention to rest, and if you are a novice, pay special attention to driving safety. Understand the reasonable snow day driving safety matters, to avoid accidents, usually pay attention to a little, before driving, check their own vehicles, check whether their lights are intact, check whether the tires are sufficient, do a good job of early warning preparations, do foolproof, wish the majority of riders a safe journey.
