How to drive safely on icy roads?

What are the factors that affect safe driving in ice and snow?

The main influence of ice and snow on safe driving is that the road is slippery, the stability of the vehicle is reduced, the braking performance is worse, the braking distance is increased, and the wheels are prone to idling or slipping when accelerating too fast; The reflection of snow on light easily causes the driver to be dazzled and have an illusion.

What should I pay attention to when driving in ice and snow?

In case of sudden rain and snow when driving, you must slow down (below 30 km/h in the urban area), turn on fog lights or low beam lights, and try to follow the rut left by the car in front. If the rut ditch is frozen, you should choose to stagger the rut of one wheel and drive slowly.

When driving in snowy days, we should not only ensure our own safety, but also give full consideration to others, especially cyclists and pedestrians. They may suddenly fall down accidentally because of the slippery road, and often slip far away because of the effect of ice and snow. Therefore, when driving through intersections and crosswalks, you should keep a safe distance from pedestrians and non-motor vehicles, and don't fight for the road.

How to judge the driving route on the ice and snow road?

When snow-covered roads and gullies are covered with snow, and the road outline is difficult to distinguish, you can judge the driving route according to the reference objects such as trees and telephone poles on both sides of the road, control the speed and drive at a low speed. When driving in dangerous areas such as detours, ramps and river valleys, more attention should be paid to choosing a good driving route. Stop immediately if the road conditions are slightly suspicious, and then continue driving after checking clearly to confirm safety. ?

What should I pay attention to when overtaking on ice and snow?

When driving a motor vehicle to overtake or meet on a snowy road, you should choose a safer road section to drive slowly on the right side, appropriately increase the lateral distance between the two cars, and keep a certain distance from the roadside. If necessary, you can stop at a wider section to make way.

What should I pay attention to when following a car on an icy road?

When driving a motor vehicle on a snowy road, you should keep a large longitudinal distance from the vehicle in front. When the front vehicle brakes to slow down, intermittent braking combined with parking braking should be used to slow down in time. Never press the service brake pedal to the bottom or pull the parking lever too fast and too hard.

What should I pay attention to when starting on an icy road?

When driving a motor vehicle on a slippery and snowy road, you should use the second gear. If the automatic transmission is marked with snow mode, press this button.

What should I pay attention to when parking on icy roads?

When driving a motor vehicle on a snowy road, stop as little as possible on the way, especially when driving on an expressway, to prevent collision, skidding and icing. If you need to stop, you should shift into low gear in advance, choose a safe place, slow down, pull over and slowly pull the parking brake lever to stop.

What should I pay attention to when climbing a mountain on an icy road?

When driving uphill on a snowy road, you should wait until the front car completely reaches the top of the slope before going uphill to prevent the front car from slipping in the uphill process.

What should I pay attention to when driving on a snowy day?

When driving a motor vehicle in a snow melting day, try not to lean against the roadside. You should follow the rut that the vehicle in front passes through, so as to better avoid the dark ice. Dark ice is an invisible thin ice layer that is melted and frozen by rain or snow on the road surface. It is slippery but invisible to the driver, so it is quite dangerous.

Is there any way to prevent dark ice from appearing on the snowy road?

When driving a motor vehicle on a snowy road, if the steering wheel suddenly feels light, or the wheel noise suddenly disappears, it may have been covered with dark ice. At this time, you can gently lift the accelerator pedal and hold the steering wheel tightly to keep the direction of the car stable and let the car pass naturally. No brakes, steering, etc.

What should I pay attention to when skating on dark ice?

If driving a motor vehicle skids on dark ice, the first thing to do is to eliminate the cause of skidding. If the brake is too hard, release the brake pedal; If the acceleration is too strong, you should lift the accelerator pedal, then turn the steering wheel slightly in the side slip direction, and then turn the steering wheel in the safe direction after the side slip disappears, and drive out of the danger zone.
