It's snowing so hard that it's really unsafe to travel. What should I do?

Drivers get headaches when it snows. When it snows, you should not only be wary of the snow and ice on the ground, but also always beware of passing vehicles and pedestrians. Many novices who have no driving experience in snow and ice weather are on the road, which makes driving in snow very difficult. Here are some precautions for driving in snowy days to provide some help for driving. 1. Before starting a car after snow, the snow on the windshield, headlights and rearview mirror must be removed 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 mirror on the inside of the window and keep a good line of sight. Snow-covered roads 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.

2. When driving on the snowy road, the friction coefficient between the tire and the road is very small, only 0. 1 on the icy road and only 0.2 on the snowy road, so the braking distance is much larger than that on the dry road. If the vehicle speed is 50 km/h, the braking distance on the dry road surface is 12 m, while the braking distance on the snowy road surface is nearly 50 m, careless operation will easily lead to traffic accidents. During driving, always pay attention to the surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. Secondly, keep a sufficient distance from the vehicle in front and be ready to brake in advance. When the distance from the vehicle in front is shortened, for whatever reason, stop refueling immediately, put your feet on the brake pedal and prepare to brake.

3. Brake Unless you want to stop, don't step on the brakes, with or without ABS. 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 when the brakes are disengaged. If the front wheel is locked, it will lose the ability to control the driving direction and the car will move in the inertial direction. Of course, even if the brake is engaged, don't trample the brake pedal to death at once 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.

The route is bad weather. Besides paying attention to your driving skills, you should also pay attention to choosing the route. 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.

5. When going up and down the slope, you should use low gear to pass smoothly, and it is not advisable to shift gears halfway. 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 on the slope, because it is difficult to restart. If you have to park on a snowy slope, make sure there is enough space for parking.

Special tips

Ten word reminder

1, never rely on high-tech braking systems such as ABS and EBD, which only play the role of auxiliary braking.

2. Be sure to keep your eyes clear, no matter how anxious you are.

Whenever you stop, stay away from the car in front, especially on the slope.

4, it is best to add some counterweight to the car, and the braking distance will be shorter when the weight of the car increases.

5. When driving, make sure there is no snow or thin ice on the soles.

6. Pay attention to lift the wiper blade after parking overnight to avoid being frozen the next day.

7. When it snows during the day, be sure to turn on the fog lights.

8. Never overtake or change lanes when encountering icy or snowy roads.

9. Try to stay away from the bicycle to prevent accidents caused by skidding.

10. Don't slam on the brakes, loosen the clutch or refuel when driving, so as not to slip.

(1) It is difficult to walk in snowy days. Pedestrians, especially the elderly, had better not go out in snowy days. If you go out, don't ride a bike, walk with extra care, and avoid supporting the ground with your hands, knees and other parts when you fall.

(2) When driving after snow, don't start too hard to adapt to the icy road surface and avoid driving roller skating. If the driving wheel slips, the ice and snow under the wheel should be removed as much as possible to improve the adhesion. Control the speed, especially when turning or going downhill, be sure to control the speed within the range where you can stop at any time. When you need to accelerate or decelerate, you should slowly step on or release the accelerator. Because of the strong reflection of snow on sunlight, drivers are prone to photophobia, tears and blindness (snow blindness) Therefore, they should wear colored glasses while driving and pay attention to rest. When parking on ice and snow roads, you should choose a sunny, sheltered, flat and dry place, and you should not be close to buildings, telephone poles or other vehicles to prevent collisions when skidding.

One note: to prevent accidental fall.

"After the heavy snow, due to the slippery road surface, the number of patients with fractures and injuries caused by falls in major hospitals will increase, including children, the elderly, women and cyclists." Dr. Wang also said that clinically, most of the fractures after snow are concentrated in the ankle, coccyx and lumbar vertebrae. Therefore, don't rush to get up after falling, first look at whether you hurt your thighs, waist and wrists. At the same time, remind that if you suddenly fall, try not to support the ground with your wrist, because this falling posture is the most likely to cause arm fractures. Once you fall and break, don't rub around. Fix the fracture with scarves, books and other tools, ask others for help, and go to the hospital immediately.

Note 2: Prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

"In rainy and snowy days, the temperature drops sharply, and the coronary artery is prone to spasm and contraction under the stimulation of cold, and the possibility of myocardial infarction is very high. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases must pay attention to strengthening protection and taking medicine in time; Don't be tired, keep warm. " Zhang Jinying, a cardiologist, said that the lower the temperature, the higher the incidence of acute myocardial infarction and stroke. Therefore, when you go out in snowy days, you should pay attention to cold and warmth, and you must wear hats, scarves and gloves. When the snow melts, the weather is particularly cold, and patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should reduce going out.

It is also known that the peak incidence of cardiovascular diseases is mostly concentrated from 6 am to noon 12. So these people should reduce outdoor activities on snowy days, even if they exercise in the afternoon.

Note 3: Prevent respiratory diseases.

Winter is the season of high incidence of respiratory diseases. Respiratory experts remind that children, the elderly and patients with chronic diseases with relatively low resistance should appropriately reduce outdoor activities in winter, pay attention to cold and warmth, and maintain regular ventilation indoors.

Precautions 4: Prevent stomach bleeding and digestive tract ulcer.

Winter is also easy to cause digestive system diseases. For example, a cold can easily lead to stomach bleeding and digestive tract ulcers. Therefore, relevant experts suggest that we should pay attention to the warmth of the stomach and the aftercare of the diet. The daily diet should be light, light and easy to digest, so as to eat less and eat more, eat regularly, avoid raw food and cold food, and limit smoking and drinking.

Note 5: Prevent gas poisoning.

In the cold winter, many families use gas stoves and coal stoves to keep warm. At this time, we must pay attention to maintaining indoor ventilation, and pay attention to the safety of heating equipment, be more careful, and maintain our own safety awareness.

Note 6: Prevent improper ways to keep out the cold.

Young people who like fashion, even in snowy days, still "freeze people" for beauty, showing their legs or wearing thin clothes. However, experts warn that warm clothes are indispensable. In order to avoid getting sick, we should pay attention to adding clothes in time.
