Road safety in bad weather in winter

Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and it will be winter soon. Driving in winter is completely different from driving in summer. Due to the high temperature in summer, you should pay attention to the long exposure of the car when driving. In winter, due to the low temperature, the road surface is easy to freeze, and accidents are prone to occur when driving. Especially when driving at high speed, the speed is relatively fast, so the following points must be paid attention to when driving at high speed in winter to ensure driving safety.

1、? Know the weather situation

Before getting on the expressway in winter, you must know the weather in advance, whether it will rain, fog or snow. Will the expressway be closed if there is bad weather? Be sure to know the road information in advance through various channels to avoid encountering various unexpected situations and wasting time on the expressway.

2、? Drive at a constant speed

In winter, due to the low temperature, the road surface is likely to freeze. Therefore, when driving at a high speed, you must drive at a constant speed, slow down, and never suddenly accelerate or brake, let alone slam the direction. It is very easy to cause the car to slip and roll over, which is very dangerous. Especially when driving at high speed in ice and snow, it is necessary to control the steering wheel and drive at a constant speed. If you encounter a car skidding, you must keep calm and never slam on the brakes. If you slam on the brakes at this time, it is easy to cause the car to roll over.

3、? Pay attention to the lights.

It is rainy, snowy and foggy in winter. At this time, it is necessary to use the lights correctly, so as to see the road ahead clearly, and at the same time, to signal the presence of vehicles in front and behind, so that they can take corresponding measures. When the visibility is less than 50 meters in foggy days, fog lights, low beam lights, position lights, front and rear position lights and danger warning flashlights must be turned on at a speed of less than 20 kilometers per hour. Find the nearest exit and get off the highway. Never try to be brave and keep driving. In the case of such low visibility, you can't see the road ahead at all, and it is easy to have an accident.

4、? Check the vehicle

Be sure to check the car in advance before getting on the highway in winter, and check the key parts such as brakes, wipers and tires. These are very important parts of the car to prevent the car from suddenly breaking down in the middle of the highway, which is not conducive to our driving safety.

5、? Don't drive tired.

Whether it's summer or winter, you must concentrate on driving at high speed and don't drive tired. If we have been driving at a high speed for four hours, we must stop and rest for 20 minutes to maintain a certain physical strength. And when driving, open the window to keep the air circulating inside the car.

You must pay attention to the above points when you go to the expressway in winter. In addition, never wipe the fog with your hands. This is very dangerous and can easily lead to a car accident. Safe driving is the most important thing.
