It's snowing. Can you drive?

Can you drive when it just snows? It's very cold in the north, and it snows easily. For novice drivers living in the north, they may not want to spend the winter, because cars are easy to get out of control on snowy roads. Can you drive when it just snows? Can you drive when it just snows? 1 It depends on the snowfall. If the amount of snow is not very large, the snow on the road will be thinner. At this time, the ground will not be slippery. Just control the speed, and the foundation is not easy to have any problems. But if there is a lot of snow, it is not suitable for driving. At this time, the snow will be thicker and will easily solidify into ice cubes after being crushed by cars, thus reducing the sliding friction between the wheels and the road surface. At this time, it will be easier to go astray when driving. In addition, if it snows for a long time and the snow on the ground is not cleared immediately, it is not suitable for driving at this time. Because the snow has been crushed by so many cars and passers-by, it will be compacted, and the melted snow will solidify on the road surface, making the ground more and more muddy. What are the driving methods in snowy days? The key to driving in snowy days is to look at the anti-skid on the ground. How to drive safely can avoid large-scale deviation of the car. Actually, it is like this: 1. Gear: Gear can control the driving force output of the car very well. Manual gear can put the gear into second gear, and automatic gear can put the gear into L gear or S gear. Then the car will drive at a low speed and rotate at a high speed, thus obtaining higher driving force and more stable output torque, which can reduce the deviation of the car. 2. Accelerator pedal: In snowy days, the friction resistance between the wheel and the road surface will be reduced. When speeding up, it is best to supply oil slowly and gradually speed up the oil supply to prevent the wheels from running at high speed due to too deep oil supply, resulting in deviation. 3. Brake pedal: The braking system characteristics of the brake pedal in snowy days are only a quarter of those in normal dry land. Therefore, it is necessary to keep a long distance when driving in snowy days. When you need to step on the brake pedal, slow down early, and avoid stepping on the brake pedal at once, otherwise it will easily cause sideslip drift. 4. Turning: When driving in snowy days, you should enlarge the turning radius of the car as much as possible and hit the steering wheel as little as possible to reduce the centripetal force of the car when turning. Can I drive when it snows? What should I pay attention to when driving in snowy days? Driving 1, starting: the car will idle for about 30 seconds after starting, then drive at a low speed and keep the engine at 1000-2000 rpm. After 3-5 minutes, the car will reach the normal working temperature and the oil will resume its fluidity. 2. Gear: Automatic gear can be engaged with L gear or S gear, and manual gear can be engaged with second gear. After the car starts, just drive in the current gear. 3. Start: Don't step on the accelerator when starting. At this time, the wheel's grip is small, it is easy to slip and it is difficult to start. 4. Speed: It is best to keep the speed of driving in the snow at 20-30km/h, so that even if you slip, you will not slip too far. 5. Anti-skid snow mode: The anti-skid function needs to be turned on when driving in the snow, which can reduce the probability of side slip and tail flick, but it needs to be turned off when climbing; If the car has snow mode, it should be turned on, so that the car can reduce the chance of slipping. 6. Steering wheel: The amplitude of the steering wheel should be small while driving. Try not to rush to hit the steering wheel to avoid slipping and tail flick. 7. Go straight: it is best to drive straight, don't change lanes easily, and reduce the situation of parallel with other vehicles. 8. Distance: When driving in the snow, the distance should be 2-3 times the normal distance of the dry road, giving the car a certain buffer space. 9. Braking: When braking, try to slow down with a little brake, or step on the brake slowly, because once the wheel brakes to death, the car will slip due to inertia when the friction is small. 10, car ditch: when the car passes through the snowy road, it will leave a series of grooves. When driving along these grooves, the probability of slipping can be greatly reduced. Function 1, anti-fog: When driving in snowy days, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car is large, which may easily lead to fog on the glass and affect the driving vision, so it is necessary to turn on the anti-fog function. 2, heating, air conditioning: the car's heating comes from the engine's warm air box, and the gas blown into the car has a high humidity. If the air conditioner is turned on, the warm air can be dried, which can effectively prevent the glass from fogging. 3. Wiper: Whether it is snowing or raining, wiper is particularly important. If it snows heavily, the gear should be controlled according to the situation. Light 1, low beam: turning on the low beam in snowy days can make the vision clearer and help the driver observe the road conditions, and the low beam is not as dazzling as the high beam. 2, position lights, rear taillights: The purpose of turning on these two lights is to make your car more conspicuous, especially the white car, so that others can clearly know the location of their car. Going up and down the mountain is more difficult for cars when it snows. The manual transmission can be changed to 1 or 2, and the automatic transmission can use L. These gears are all low gears. When going uphill, shifting into low gear can make the car get more torque and push the car forward; As for downhill, when shifting gears, the car can use the resistance of the engine to assist in deceleration, thus increasing the safety of downhill. Can you drive when it just snows? 3 Matters needing attention when driving in snowy days: 1. When driving in snowy days, the first thing to pay attention to is your left and right rearview mirrors, door glasses on both sides, and front and rear windshields. Be sure to keep these glass mirrors clean to ensure that they will not affect your eyesight. Now most cars have rearview mirror heating and front and rear windshield defrosting and defogging functions. Remember to open them. 2. In addition, when driving in snowy days, you should avoid sudden braking, so the speed must not be too fast, especially on urban roads, which can basically be maintained at around 30 mph. This depends on the situation of the car in front and the road conditions at that time. If you are afraid, it doesn't matter if you drive slowly. Be sure to keep a safe distance from the car in front, leaving a little more than usual. 3. When driving in snowy days, try to keep driving in one direction. Don't change lanes casually, and don't change lanes in a hurry. If you really want to change lanes, you must turn on the turn signal in advance, then observe the rearview mirror to ensure a safe distance, then slowly turn into the lane to be taken, and always observe the vehicles in front and slow down at any time. 4. When driving in snowy days, don't panic, slow down in advance and control the speed. Slow down, don't step on the brakes, slow down the speed, and then slowly turn the steering wheel to let the car pass as smoothly as possible. It is suggested that novice friends try to avoid driving on the road in snowy days. There are too many intersections and too many emergencies in snowy days. Even if there is nothing wrong with your operation, it may be inevitable that the other car will hit you. Of course, if you just can't avoid driving, tell the novice that you should avoid three emergencies and one overtaking when driving in snow, that is, accelerate quickly, slam the steering wheel, brake hard and overtake less, and control the speed and the safe distance of the vehicle in front.
