Can you drive on the sleet highway?

You can drive on the highway in sleet weather. However, the following points should be noted:

1. Make sure that the road surface is not frozen. Before you get on the expressway, you must ensure that the vehicle is in normal condition, such as tire wear and brake system.

2. Keep enough distance between vehicles. Rain and snow will affect visibility, so it is necessary to slow down and adjust the speed according to visibility. When the visibility is less than 200 meters, the speed shall not exceed 60 km/h; When the visibility is less than 100 m, the speed shall not exceed 40 km/h; When the visibility is less than 50m, the speed shall not exceed 20km/h. ..

3. If the wheels are not equipped with snow chains, it is recommended that the speed be controlled between10-20km/h. ..

The following are the safety measures to be considered when driving in sleet weather:

1. Vehicle inspection: Make sure the vehicle is in good condition, especially the brakes, tires, wipers and lighting equipment.

2. Deceleration: Reduce the speed appropriately according to the road conditions to avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and rapid acceleration.

3. Safe distance: increase the distance from the vehicle in front to prevent rear-end collision due to wet road surface.

4. Anti-skid measures: Use anti-skid chains when necessary, especially in mountainous areas or icy roads.

5. Emergency preparation: carry emergency items with the vehicle, such as towing rope, anti-skid mat, first aid kit, etc.

To sum up, it is feasible to drive on the expressway in sleet weather, but drivers must take corresponding safety measures to ensure driving safety.
