Matters needing attention in driving in snowy days

Precautions for driving in snowy days: 1. Before winter, first of all, do a special safety inspection of the whole vehicle. 2. Start lifting the clutch slowly and refuel slowly. 3. Keep the low speed steady during driving. 4. Keep driving in a straight line at a constant speed. 5. Downshift braking.

1. Before entering the winter, we should first do a special safety inspection of the whole vehicle. The main inspection items include automobile battery, seat belt, horn, radiator, engine oil, lights, brakes, exhaust system, warm air, defrosting heater, wiper and ignition system.

2. Start lifting the clutch slowly and refuel slowly. If the wheels slip at the start, you can shift to a higher gear than usual, such as shifting to second gear in a car, shifting to third gear when the truck is empty, and shifting to second gear when the truck is heavy. The clutch is looser than usual, so it is better to adjust the transmission force with the range of semi-clutch.

3. Keep the low speed steady during driving. Because the braking distance will increase with the increase of vehicle speed, it is the key to control the vehicle speed and keep a large safe distance from the vehicle in front.

4. Keep driving in a straight line at a constant speed. Driving on ice and snow requires drivers to concentrate and be vigilant. In winter, people's action sensitivity is lower than normal temperature, and the following distance is at least 1.5 times larger than usual. We should also pay attention to the road conditions.

5. Downshift braking. Emergency braking on ice and snow pavement is prone to problems, leading to side slip and uncontrollable vehicle direction. When this sign appears, the driver should first release the brake, let the steering wheel resume control of the vehicle, or gradually slow down the speed through point braking.
