What should I pay attention to when driving in ice and snow?

Ten precautions for safe driving in ice and snow days are as follows:

1, low temperature makes people slow: remember to keep warm when the weather is cold. Low temperature will slow people down, slow down.

2. Be prepared for travel: Remember to check the water tank and brakes before leaving the car. It is best to prepare a forbidden shelf in the trunk to prevent the car from being taken out for warning, and bring a snow chain if necessary.

3. It is safe to be seen: the winter night comes early. People wear black and gray clothes, which have little contrast with the background and are not easy to be found. If the driver is not focused at this time, it is easy to cause an accident. Therefore, drivers are advised to pay attention when driving at night, and pedestrians are also reminded to wear red, blue, orange and other colors that are in great contrast with the background when traveling at night in winter.

4. Keep a safe distance: keep a safe distance from the preceding vehicle, leaving enough reaction time and braking distance; The safe distance of ice and snow pavement in winter should be kept 2 to 3 times that of dry pavement.

5. Pay attention to speed control: when turning on the icy road, slow down in advance, slowly turn the steering wheel and pass at a constant speed to avoid sudden cold rudder, otherwise it will easily cause the car body to get out of control, affect the traffic of other vehicles and even cause accidents.

6. Be careful with the brakes: Be careful when using the brakes when driving on icy roads! You can take point braking to reduce the speed and try to avoid emergency braking; You can use the resistance of the engine to help slow down and brake, and if necessary, you can use the hand brake flexibly to prevent the vehicle from slipping or swinging its tail due to braking.

7. Start "gently": slow down the throttle and accelerate slowly when starting. Excessive force can easily cause the driving wheel to slip with the road surface.

8. Slow speed increase: Before starting in cold weather, the vehicle should be preheated and warmed up, and then start when the engine temperature reaches above 50 degrees Celsius. Vehicles parked in the open air have a high viscosity of lubricating oil, so they should drive at a low speed for a certain distance after starting, and then gradually increase the speed after the engine temperature rises.

9. Cautious overtaking: Try not to overtake, and keep a sufficient longitudinal distance from the front car to prevent rear-end collision; When overtaking, use the brakes as little or no as possible.

10, the action should not be too fierce: in winter, we must pay attention not to be too fierce and too big, especially when we hit the brakes in the direction, otherwise the probability of vehicle skidding will be aggravated, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
