Driving skills in snowy days

With the sound of the cold wave signal, the first snow this year has fallen in many places. While people harvest beautiful scenery, we put on thick clothes to keep out the cold at the right time. But at the same time, we should not ignore the safety of driving in snowy days.

Regardless of the technical problems of new and old drivers, a good car, or the good condition of a car, is very important in ice and snow weather. First of all, the first problem is glass water. Changing into antifreeze glass water in time is the greatest respect for the low temperature environment.

Secondly, it is the tire problem. For cities with icy roads, it is undoubtedly an exaggeration to put on snow tires and bring chains and shovels, but this does not mean that tires are not important. On the contrary, checking tires has become a top priority. First, let's see if the tire is damaged. Secondly, we are concerned about whether the tire tread wear is serious. Third, check whether the tire pressure is too high. For those higher than 3.0 bar, reduce the tire pressure appropriately.

How to use the vehicle correctly includes two aspects. First, check whether the car condition is normal before leaving the car, and correctly use the defogging function of the vehicle air conditioner. In winter, the operation recommendation of the air conditioning system is that you can turn on the air conditioner by lighting a fire on the bus. In terms of wind direction, at least part of the airflow blows to the window (defogging block). In terms of temperature, choose warm air and turn on the compressor (AC ON) to further reduce the humidity in the car, so as to warm the car and prevent the window from fogging.

Be careful not to use cold air to demist here. On the other hand, cold air can remove fog quickly, but the temperature in the compartment is very low. And with the increase of the temperature inside the car, it will still fog again.

More importantly, it is possible to frost during driving, which is more troublesome than fog. Therefore, as soon as you get on the bus, turn on the air conditioner and blow warm air against the glass, which is the correct way.

After driving on the road, we need to use the lights correctly. Many people will argue whether to turn on the danger signal lights in rainy and snowy days. But in fact, the function of using lights in bad weather is to warn others, so if you are not sure how to start, turn on all the lights that can be turned on. Except for the high beam, of course.

Finally, we need to pay attention to our driving habits. Many people are used to aggressive driving, but this driving habit is not desirable in rainy and snowy weather in winter. We should be as gentle as possible, especially on frosty roads, and we should be more cautious.
