When driving in ice and snow, how can we better ensure driving safety?

When driving in ice and snow, how can we better ensure driving safety? It's still sunny, and I have to take off a dress at noon. Now, under the influence of the cold wave, I still feel cold in my thickest clothes. It snows in many cities all over the country. Thick snow covers the ground, making driving difficult, which brings great challenges to drivers, especially novice drivers who have been driving for a while. I will share with you several safe driving methods on ice and snow roads for your reference.

The cold wave is coming. Five methods of safe driving on ice and snow roads are very practical.

The biggest challenge on icy roads is insufficient tire grip. Whether winter tires are used or not, the tread pattern should be relatively deep to ensure grip. If your tire pattern is already very flat, please don't drive on the icy road and take the bus honestly. Such tires are almost impossible to use on dry roads, but once you get to the icy roads, it will be a nightmare to meet you.

Reduce the speed and increase the distance between cars.

The adhesion of ice and snow pavement is very low. When the car starts to skid, traction control, ABS and other functions can't save your car, but physical effects will prevail. You should slow down when driving. When the driving wheel suddenly accelerates, it will slip, and when it suddenly brakes, it will lock. ABS has no effect on snow and ice.

The braking distance on the ice and snow road will increase, and the distance between vehicles cannot be maintained as usual. The braking time should be at least 4 seconds, otherwise it is easy to cause rear-end collision.

Don't accelerate or brake when turning.

Don't try to accelerate or brake when turning. These actions should be carried out in a straight line. Please slow down in advance when you need to enter the corner. Acceleration and braking will change the grip of tires and make the car out of control and drive off the road.

act in an orderly way/manner

When the road surface is covered with thick snow, you can't see the road surface, and you don't know whether it is a road or a drain. Don't drive blindly at this time. You'd better follow the rules. The road taken by others shows that it is safe. In addition, on the road surface crushed by cars, snow often turns into water, which has better grip and the car is not easy to slip.
