What are the precautions for driving in Xuetian?

After the heavy snow, the snow on the windshield, headlights and rearview mirror must be removed before starting the car to ensure that the line of sight will not be affected when driving. It is best to have a piece of cotton cloth at hand. When parking on the road, you can wipe the fog and reflector on the inside of the window to keep a good view. If possible, you can smear "Rain Enemy" or similar products on the glass inside the car to reduce fogging.

Snow-covered roads will make it difficult for cars to start. In order to enter the driveway smoothly, it is best to move the car back and forth a little or use a snow shovel to clear the snow in front of the car. Step on the accelerator lightly after ignition, and don't idle the wheel, or the wheel will sink deeper and deeper.

During driving, always pay attention to the surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, and then keep enough distance from the car in front, always ready to brake in advance. When you find that the distance from the car in front is shortening, stop refueling immediately for whatever reason, put your feet on the brake pedal and get ready to brake.

Don't step on the brakes with or without ABS, except when parking. Stepping on the low-speed brake can reduce the speed of the vehicle more quickly with the help of engine deceleration. For a car without ABS, it is easy to lock the tires by pulling the brakes. If the front wheel is locked, the car will lose control of the driving direction and move in the inertial direction. At this time, it is useless to manipulate the steering wheel. If the rear wheel is locked, the car will roll over and the direction will be even more uncontrollable.

Of course, even if you hang up the brakes, don't trample the brake pedal to death without an emergency. You should push hard gradually.

If the vehicle speed is high or you need to brake as soon as possible, you can directly downshift and brake: for example, if the gear is in the fourth gear, first release your right foot from the accelerator pedal and put it on the brake pedal, and then quickly press the clutch with your left foot to quickly shift to the third gear. In case of emergency, you can directly shift from fourth gear to second gear or even 1 gear, and then lift the clutch. After the clutch is engaged, step on the brake pedal with your right foot, but don't step on it. If you feel the wheel locked, release the brake immediately, and the strength is still increasing gradually. Cars with ABS can also be directly downshifted. The difference is that when the vehicle speed decreases to a relatively slow speed, you can step on the clutch (to prevent the engine from stalling) and step on the brake (only when the vehicle speed is slow). In addition to your own driving skills, you should also pay attention to choosing the route when driving in bad weather. Don't drive blindly on the loop. In fact, many main roads and auxiliary roads around the city are not necessarily more difficult than the main roads around the city. On the day and the next day when it snows, some roads near the ring road are very smooth, but the ring road is full of cars, so it will be shorter and safer to choose these roads.

When going up and down the slope, you should use low gear to pass smoothly, and it is not advisable to shift gears in the middle. Prevent flameout when going uphill, and absolutely forbid neutral taxiing when going downhill. Novice drivers can take side roads in snowy days to avoid encountering overpasses with steep slopes. Try to avoid parking in the snow, because it is difficult to restart. If you must park on a snowy downhill, make sure there is enough space to leave the parking space, because it is very difficult to move the parking space back and forth.
