"Rain and Snow" Driving Experience:

"Rain and snow weather" driving experience:
  1. Pay attention to your mentality. It's right to be more careful when driving in snow, but don't be blindly nervous. Relax and slow down. When driving, pay attention to the front and three rear-view mirrors, and pay attention to the vehicles on the left and right sides, so as to be aware of it. In the event of an accident while driving in snow, keep a good attitude, step on the brakes and not release, master the driving direction, and make the wheel push the accident object forward, so as to prevent the wheel from rolling over the accident object. Even if the problem is serious, keep a good attitude and call the police and contact the insurance company immediately.
2. Since the adhesion coefficient of ice and snow roads is very low, driving the wheels under such road conditions will cause the wheels to slip or even lose control, which is very dangerous. The best way is to reduce the speed, so that you can better control the vehicle's trajectory. The speed of the vehicle should be stable during driving, and it should not be fast or slow, try to reduce the number of overtaking, and avoid fast speed, sudden acceleration, and sudden braking.
3, pay attention to start. Whether it is a manual transmission model or an automatic transmission model, the starting must be slow to refuel, which can prevent the wheels from spinning and slipping, so as to ensure better control of the direction. If the road is extremely slippery, it is recommended that manual transmission models start in 2nd gear, and automatic transmission models can use snow mode or 2nd gear to start. Remember, you must not drive in neutral when driving in snow.
  4. Downshift before turning. Driving in ice and snow is different from driving on ordinary roads. First, reduce the speed before entering a corner, and engage in a low gear, and appropriately lower 1-2 gears, which is convenient for entering the corner. Try to avoid braking in corners to avoid sideslip.
  5. Predict the driving distance. Due to the lack of clear vision in snowy weather, be sure to maintain a proper driving distance from the vehicle in front. This requires the driver to have a good "pre-judgment" and make a judgment based on the vehicle's own situation and the amount of snow, so that there is sufficient time and conditions to maintain safe driving in the event of any situation in the preceding vehicle. If you need to turn or merge, you should turn on the turn signal in advance to alert the vehicles behind.
  6. When you are unable to judge the situation ahead during driving, you must remain calm and not panic. At this time, you should gradually reduce the speed, approach the parking lot to the right side of the road, and turn on the double flashing lights when parking. When the line of sight is good, you can continue to drive. In addition, don't panic if there is a side slip or tail drift during driving. At this time, you should lightly reduce the accelerator and then slightly return to the positive direction, and adjust continuously between steering and returning to the positive direction, but not too large, so as not to exceed the normal driving of the wheels. Location is limited. Don't slam on the brakes when there is a sideslip or tail drift, this will not only have no effect on deceleration, but will cause the vehicle to lose control and cause an accident.




A must-read for driving in winter Safe driving tips
on icy roads in snow 1: Be calm and careful when driving in snow or passing icy roads. Drive slowly, do not overtake at will, tap the accelerator, tap the brakes, turn the steering wheel slowly, any dangerous action or improper operation may bring danger.
2: When necessary, you can deflate the tires to increase the contact area between the car and the ice-slippery road and enhance the adhesion of the tires; the clutch should be slowly lifted and refueled at any time on the ice-snow road. Vehicles in the front and rear can roll or slide when braking or starting.
3: It is easy to freeze in dark and damp places, under overpasses and at the entrance of tunnels. Thin ice is even more terrifying. You should be extra careful and slow down.



Driving skills after snow
1: It is forbidden to lift the clutch, accelerate suddenly, and brake during the starting and driving process. You should keep the accelerator steady and drive at a constant speed. To decelerate the vehicle, use the method of downshifting and use the engine brake.
2: When turning, be sure to reduce the speed to the greatest extent in advance, stabilize the steering wheel, and turn slowly and return slowly.
3: If there are snowflakes in driving, reduce the speed and use it to improve sight. After driving for a long time after the snow, due to the reflection of the sun on the snow, it is easy to suffer from photophobia, tearing, and vision loss. Therefore, you should wear tinted protective glasses with UV protection.
