How to ensure driving safety in bad weather?

Bad weather generally refers to rainstorm, strong wind, fog, hail, frost and low temperature. To ensure safe driving, we must first ensure our health and avoid fatigue driving, especially in the case of low visibility, which is very dangerous. Secondly, in this low temperature environment, the car should be inspected before departure to see if there are any problems with the wiper, oil, antifreeze, light signals and tires.

When driving in bad weather, you should slow down and avoid getting too close to the front car to keep a safe distance, because the braking distance of the car will be longer in bad weather, which will lead to rear-end collision.

Visibility on the road is relatively low in rainy and snowy days. Turn on the front and rear fog lights and whistle for a long time if necessary. In some places in the north, there may be thick ice and snow on the road. When driving, try to follow the rut form, and if necessary, put a snow chain on the tire.

If the ice and snow on the road are dazzling, or if a friend is snow blind, be sure to wear a polarizer.

In the case of low visibility, try not to overtake or cut in line, which will make it more difficult for participants to drive around the road and easily lead to accidents. If the visibility is particularly low, the sight and operation of the car will become difficult. You should turn on the headlights and dangerous driving lights to drive, slow down the speed appropriately, pull over if necessary, and then continue driving when the situation improves.

In case of strong wind, close the window to prevent dust from flying into the car.

In addition, the road conditions in windy weather will be more complicated. For example, there will be many pebbles and floating objects on the road. Drivers should pay attention to the road conditions, grasp the steering wheel and drive at medium and low speeds.

Don't be nervous if you encounter vehicle sideslip. Tap the steering wheel in the sideslip direction. When the car body returns to the correct position, lightly brake and slow down until the vehicle is completely controlled.

Although it is a little common sense, everyone must have learned it when taking the driver's license test, some novice drivers may easily forget it if they don't drive often, while some old drivers may easily ignore it if they are more experienced. Although they are small details, there are still many accidents caused by bad weather. Don't neglect your own safety.
