Safety measures in rainy and snowy weather

1, keep a good view: In addition to driving carefully in rainy and snowy days, you should turn on the wiper in time, and turn on the low beam and anti-fog lights in dark weather.

2. Prevent wheel side slip: When driving in rainy and snowy weather, a "lubricant" is formed between the water on the road surface and the tires, which makes the braking performance of the car worse and prone to side slip. Therefore, the driver should hold the steering wheel with both hands in balance, keep driving in a straight line at a low speed, and when turning, he should step on the brakes to slow down to prevent the vehicle from slipping due to tire locking.

3. Slow down at low speed: No matter how narrow the road is, the road surface is good or bad, try to use the second or third gear when driving in rain and snow, and the speed should not exceed 30 kilometers or 40 kilometers per hour. Always pay attention to the distance between the front and rear vehicles.

4. Prevent vehicles from falling into the water: When vehicles pass through water-logged roads, under overpasses, deep tunnels and other water-logged roads, they should stop first to check the water-logged depth. If the water depth exceeds the exhaust pipe, it is easy to cause the vehicle to stall, and the water depth exceeds the bumper, which is easy to enter the water.

5. Pay attention to pedestrians: Because pedestrians wear umbrellas and cyclists wear ponchos in rainy and snowy weather, their vision, hearing and reaction are limited, and when vehicles approach, they often panic and slip, making drivers unprepared. In this case, the driver should slow down and wait patiently.

6. Turn on the lights in time: When the line of sight is extremely low in heavy rain, turn on the headlights, position lights and rear position lights, and drive the vehicle off the road or park it in a safe place.
