What are the precautions for driving when the weather is bad in winter?

(1) Before leaving the vehicle, the inspection of the motor vehicle should be strengthened to keep it in good technical condition, especially the steering system and braking system should be effective and reliable, and there should be no running deviation and braking running deviation. Tire pressure should be the lower limit of the specified value, and the left and right tire pressures should be the same. If the tire tread is seriously worn, it should be replaced in time to avoid side slip and tail flick.

(2) This is a vast expanse of white snow, and it is often impossible to distinguish the road conditions clearly. At this time, we should carefully observe street trees, road signs, canals, etc. , and determine the driving route. We should slow down and honk more. Pass along the middle of the road and where the snow is shallow. If there is a stereotype, you must follow it; If the snow is too thick, it should be cleared before passing; If you need to pass through dangerous places such as bends, ramps, river valleys and mountain roads, you should stop and investigate clearly, and then pass after finding out the situation. Never take any chances.

(3) Don't be too close to the car on the snowy road, otherwise the deceleration and braking of the front car will easily lead to rear-end collision. Therefore, the driver should keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front according to the terrain, speed and load.

(4) Try not to overtake on icy roads. If you must overtake in time, you must choose a spacious, flat and less icy road, and you are not allowed to overtake by force. When passing cars, you should choose a flat and wide road section, keep enough lateral safety distance between the two cars, and don't get too close to the roadside; If the road surface is narrow, the qualified party should take the initiative to stop or retreat.

(5) Don't turn too fast. When you need to turn, you must slow down as much as possible in advance, hold the steering wheel steady, turn slowly and turn back slowly, increase the turning radius as much as possible without affecting the oncoming car, reduce the centrifugal force when turning, and never make sharp turns and sharp turns to prevent sideslip.

(6) Don't brake too fast. Use predictive braking as much as possible while driving, and use engine to slow down as much as possible. Hand braking and exhaust braking should be used more, and foot braking should be used less to avoid emergency braking. If the situation is urgent, you can force the downshift, restrain the locomotive by the reaction resistance of the engine, or use the hands and feet to brake intermittently.
