What lights are there on snowy days? What should I pay attention to when driving in snowy days?

What light should I turn on in snowy days? The low beam, position light and rear position light should be turned on.

China's traffic law clearly stipulates that when turning on street lamps at night or driving in fog, rain, snow, sand dust, hail and other low visibility conditions, headlights, position lights and rear position lights should be turned on.

If the snow is not heavy, turn on the low beam and the position light. If it snows heavily, you need to turn on fog lights and position lights.

Fog lamps have strong penetrating power, and can penetrate dense fog in foggy days, so that drivers can see the road ahead clearly. Therefore, fog lights are only turned on when visibility is particularly low. Snow is different from fog, and the reflection after strong light will cause reflection and glare, which will affect driving safety. In the same way, don't turn on the high beam to prevent other vehicles from driving.

Regarding the use of lights, the state has clear regulations in this regard:

When the visibility is 200 meters to 500 meters, the low beam, width indicator and tail light must be turned on, the speed must not exceed 80kmh, and the driving distance from the vehicle in front of the same lane must be kept above 150m; When the visibility is 100-200m, the fog lamp, low beam lamp, width indicator lamp and tail lamp must be turned on, the speed shall not exceed 60kmh, and the distance from the preceding vehicle shall be kept above 100-200m; When the visibility is 50- 100 m, turn on the fog lamp, low beam lamp, width indicator lamp and tail lamp, the speed shall not exceed 40kmh, and keep a distance of more than 50m from the vehicle in front.

What should I pay attention to when driving in snowy days?

1. Slowly.

Because the road is slippery after snow, the grip of the car is only one-sixth of that of the normal road, so we must slow down. Otherwise, in an emergency, sudden deceleration, acceleration, steering and braking will easily lead to side slip.

2. Replace the antifreeze glass water

On snowy days, it is often necessary to clean the windshield, so glass water is necessary. It is best to replace the antifreeze glass water after winter. Frost-proof glass water can effectively dissolve the frost in winter. If the antifreeze glass water is not replaced in time, the glass water will become massive after freezing, and the volume will become larger, which will easily crack the glass water tank.

Check tire pressure

According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the tire pressure is generally low in snowy days, so it is necessary to check the tire pressure regularly.

Replace snow tires

If you are in an area where it often snows, or go out to road trip on snowy days, you can change the tires into snow tires. There are two kinds of snow tires, one is to use special lines and larger gaps to increase the grip in the snow; The other is to embed metal and ceramics on the tire surface to increase the grip, which is also called nail tire.

If you want to replace snow tires, you must replace all four tires. If you just change some tires, it will be easier to slip.

Dress lightly

Because of the cold weather in winter, many car owners will wear thick clothes, but this will cause inconvenience. If conditions permit, you can prepare an extra pair of light shoes in the car as a replacement. I suggest you take off your coat. (Photo/Text/Photo: Ask and Answer Animals) @20 19
