What are the precautions for driving in snowy days?

1, warm the car in advance to clear the snow on the car body.

Going out in the morning, I found that the vehicle had been covered with thick snow. At this time, don't leave in a hurry. You should light the car first, while heating it, and clear the snow on the car body. Because for driving in snowy days, a good sight is an important factor to ensure driving safety.

Step 2 start gently and slowly

Start gently, steadily and slowly in snowy days, otherwise the front wheels will slip easily. Manual transmission mainly extends the semi-trailer time of clutch, and appropriately starts in high gear. Automatic transmission owners can choose to drive in snow mode.

3. Keep the distance at low speed.

In snowy days, the wet adhesion of the road surface is low, and the driving risk factor increases. Therefore, the speed should be reduced and the driving distance should be increased to prevent the rear-end collision caused by too fast speed. In case of emergency, please don't slam the steering wheel, lest the vehicle lose adhesion and slip.

4. Pay attention to the "foot method" when braking.

Driving on a snowy road, the biggest taboo is slamming on the brakes. No matter how powerful your ABS and ESP are, you can't guarantee 100% driving safety. The best way to brake is to brake first and then use the engine's restraining force, and then gradually increase the braking force after the speed drops. It is particularly emphasized that braking should be carried out in a straight line as far as possible, and please don't step on the brakes when turning.

5. Use the demisting device in a good car.

On snowy days, the air is cold and humid, the temperature difference between inside and outside the car is large, and the glass inside the car is easy to fog, which seriously affects the driver's sight. At this time, it is necessary to use the defogging device on the car reasonably to ensure good sight and improve driving safety.

6. Pay attention to pedestrians and cyclists

It is difficult to drive when it snows. In fact, it is even more difficult to ride a bike when it snows. Not only is it easy to fall when sliding, but it is difficult for cyclists to protect their eyesight by wearing thick clothes and hats to keep warm. As drivers, we should understand and avoid them, leave a safe distance for each other and have enough braking distance to ensure their safety in case of sudden fall.

7. Pay attention to parking.

Choose a safe place to park in snowy days, and try not to park under trees. If snow breaks branches, it is easy to hurt vehicles. It's best not to park on the side of the road. If the vehicle slips or the cyclist falls, it will not cause unnecessary harm to his vehicle.

Use several common snow chains for extended data:

1, snow chains are made of iron chains.

This chain is widely used, and it is also the most common and classic one. The advantage is very cheap and durable. Disadvantages are loud noise, difficult disassembly, heavy weight and serious tire wear. Suitable for running long distances, taking dangerous mountain roads, ramps and completely frozen roads. It is not recommended to install this kind of snow chains on urban roads where the icing is not very serious.

2. Tendon chain

The advantage of this kind of snow chain is that it doesn't hurt the car and the road surface. The disadvantage is that it is easily broken. You can choose to use it when the icing is not serious and you don't want to remove the snow chains frequently. If you need to run long distances or dangerous mountain roads, try not to use this snow chain.

3. Rubber snow chains

Wear rubber with high elasticity similar to automobile tires is used as raw material, which has the advantages of low temperature resistance, wear resistance, good elasticity and strong friction, and is practical.
