How to drive safely in rainy and snowy weather

How to drive safely in rainy and snowy weather;

1. Adjust the driving speed: in rainy and snowy weather, the road surface is slippery and the line of sight is limited, so be sure to reduce the speed.

2. Keep a safe distance: When driving in rain and snow, the braking distance will increase. Therefore, it is very important to keep an appropriate safe distance.

3. Pay attention to the brakes: in rainy and snowy weather, the road surface is slippery and the brakes are easy to slip. In order to avoid this situation, you can slow down in advance and lightly step on the brakes. If the vehicle skids, don't brake suddenly, slowly release the throttle to stabilize the direction, and then brake carefully after the vehicle is stabilized.

4. Use the wiper and lights correctly: In rainy and snowy weather, the line of sight will be disturbed, so make sure that your wiper is in good condition and turned on in time.

In case of fog, rain, snow, dust, hail and other low visibility meteorological conditions, when the visibility is less than 200 meters, the speed shall not exceed 60 kilometers per hour; When the visibility is less than 100 meters, the speed shall not exceed 40 kilometers per hour; When the visibility is less than 50 meters, the speed shall not exceed 20 kilometers per hour.

To sum up, deceleration is the key to safe driving in rainy and snowy weather. Decreasing the speed can increase your perception of road conditions and give you more time to react. On the slippery road, the braking distance will increase, so give yourself enough braking distance.

It is also important to keep enough distance between cars. In rainy and snowy weather, the braking performance of the vehicle will be affected, so keeping a distance from the vehicle in front will give you more time to stop and avoid rear-end collision.

Legal basis:

Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Implementation of Road Traffic Safety Law

Article 42

Motor vehicles driving on the road shall not exceed the maximum speed indicated by the speed limit sign. Keep a safe speed on the road without speed limit signs.

When driving at night or on dangerous sections, when encountering meteorological conditions such as dust, hail, rain, snow, fog and ice, the driving speed should be reduced.
