The most comprehensive driver's manual in bad weather

With the arrival of cold air, most areas in the north will be covered by rain and snow again, and the Central Meteorological Observatory will continue to issue snowstorm warnings. According to the weather forecast, there have been heavy snowfalls and local blizzards in parts of North China and Northeast China. Today, Beijing also ushered in the strongest snowfall since winter. The traffic conditions in snowy days will inevitably bring some troubles to the majority of car owners. Let's take a look at some driving precautions in snowy days. Maybe you can use one or two!

1. Ensure the driving sight and turn on the lights.

First, turn on the wiper or use professional tools to scrape the snow off the windshield. When visibility is low in snowy days, turn on fog lights, low beam lights, position lights, front and rear position lights and daytime running lights. Use the turn signal in advance when paralleling.

Smooth driving

When it snows, the visibility is less than 500 meters, and the road surface is slippery and icy. Sudden change of direction, sudden acceleration or sudden braking should be avoided. It is best to brake several times before braking to avoid rear-end collision.

Maintain traction

Maintain proper traction on icy roads or steep slopes. A manual transmission car can quickly shift from high gear to low gear while stepping on the brakes, and lift the clutch pedal to make the engine binding force and braking system work at the same time.

4. Don't be nervous when you slip.

When sideslip or tail flick occurs during driving, you should take back the throttle slightly and return to the positive direction, and constantly adjust between steering and returning to the right, but not too much. After the vehicle is repositioned, lightly brake until the whole situation is completely controlled. Don't slam on the brakes when sideslip or tail flick.

5. Traffic forecast.

When it snows, you should keep a distance from the car in front and try to choose a familiar road section. When approaching a bend, try to keep enough safe distance from the outside of the bend. Whether it is snowy or normal, drivers should slow down and downshift as soon as possible before turning. Driving in snowy days is not allowed to slow down or turn around.

Choose to wear colored glasses

Walking on the expressway in the snow often leads to dazzling situations. Choosing colored glasses can not only prevent glare, but also prevent eye fatigue, which is more conducive to observing the situation ahead.

7. Know the weather and road conditions

Before going out, know the weather and road traffic along the way. Pay attention to the tips of the variable information board of the traffic control department after expressway.

8. Pay attention to defogging in the car.

When fog appears on the front windshield, turn on the defogging button of the car in time or adjust the temperature inside the car to remove the fog. Never wipe with cotton cloth or towel while driving.

9. Prepare emergency items properly.

When traveling in the snow, you can carry snow chains, hardwood blocks, waste paper boxes and other items with you in case of emergencies such as tire skidding on the snow road.

10. Stop and install the wiper.

In this rainy and snowy day, it is common for wiper blades to freeze. If the wiper blade is forcibly opened, it will hurt the rubber blade of the wiper blade and even hurt or even burn the wiper motor. Therefore, when parking, the wiper should stand up to avoid freezing.
