How do drivers drive safely in snow, ice and fog?

Winter weather in the north is often accompanied by bad weather such as snow and fog, which brings many safety hazards to motor vehicles. For drivers, in this case, more attention should be paid to driving safety.

Driving skills in ice and snow;

1. In winter, the adhesion coefficient of snow pavement is low and it is easy to slip. Before going out, it is not easy to check that the tire pressure is too high. For tires with shallow patterns, replace or install snow chains in advance before winter to reduce the danger of driving. . The driving speed should be low and steady, so as to prevent the speed from being too fast, avoid sudden acceleration and emergency braking, and ensure safety.

2. Pay attention to slowly lift the clutch and stabilize the throttle when starting on icy roads. The EFI car can not refuel, and let the computer automatically adjust the throttle according to the load. If you refuel too fast, it will cause the wheels and the road to slip and it is difficult to control the direction.

3. Downshift before turning. Don't downshift when turning, driving in the snow is absolutely impossible. Because the center of the car is outside the corner when turning, braking at this time is easy to cause the car to slip. When driving in a straight line, reduce the speed to a gear suitable for turning before turning.

4. Don't panic if there is sideslip or tail flick in the process of snow and ice. You should immediately return to the right direction and release the accelerator or lightly brake, and then gradually turn the steering wheel to get the car back on track. To regain control of the driving direction of the vehicle, the front wheels must be straightened first. But don't turn the steering wheel too much to avoid sudden braking. This will not only have no effect on deceleration, but will make the vehicle out of control and cause an accident.

5. pay attention to the line of sight. Turn on the rear window defroster in snowy days to prevent the rear window from fogging. Stop to wipe the fog in the window and mirror. Keep a good line of sight. After it snows, you should stop and investigate clearly after passing through curves, valleys, mountain roads and other sections with complicated road conditions, and then pass after finding out the situation.

Driving skills in foggy days:

When driving in foggy days, turn on the front and rear fog lights, double flashing lights and small lights, control the speed and be careful to overtake. Especially when passing through intersections, villages, schools, mountain roads and bends, you should carefully observe the surrounding situation and prepare for avoidance.

1. When the visibility is within 35 meters, the vehicle speed shall not exceed 25 kilometers per hour. ..

2. When driving in foggy days, keep a distance from the car in front, pay attention to the dynamics, control the speed, and don't make sharp turns, refuel or suddenly brake.
