[**Henan Expressway Public Security].

Heavy snow hits, roads are icy, and visibility is low.

Henan Highway Traffic Police reminds you.

Pay attention to keep warm while going out.

It is necessary to master certain driving skills in bad weather.

In rain, snow and fog, the road surface is slippery and the vision is poor.

Driving should be "speed reduction, distance control, bright tail".

Reduce lane change driving and avoid strong and super strong meetings.

Prevent the vehicle from slipping and rolling over out of control.

Snow Day Travel Guide (Driving) 01 Pay attention to vehicle inspection Pay attention to de-icing and snow on the body, especially on the front and rear windshields and exterior mirrors. After getting into the car, turn the steering wheel first to confirm that the steering system is working properlyCheck that the tires are in normal condition;Check whether the lights and wipers are working properly;Gently apply the brakes after the vehicle has started to check that the brake system is not frozen by snow or other faults.

02 Start slowly and slowly start the throttle In winter, the adhesion coefficient of the ice and snow road is low, and the wheels are easy to slip, so the driving speed should be slow. Keep your speed steady and avoid accelerating. When accelerating or decelerating, the throttle should be slowly stepped down or released to prevent the drive wheels from slipping due to sudden acceleration or deceleration.

03 Increase the distance between vehicles by 4-5 times When driving on ice and snow roads, the ground resistance in snow is very small, and rear-end accidents are prone to occur, so it is better to increase the distance between vehicles, and the distance between vehicles should be increased by 4-5 times than that on dry roads without snow. If you are too close to the car, it will be difficult to control the distance between the brakes, and if you do not take the right measures, it can easily lead to accidents.

04 Don't panic when skidding Don't panic when you are driving** Sideslip or tail flickering, don't panic, turn the steering wheel gently along the direction of skidding, wait for the vehicle to return to the right, and then lightly step on the brakes until the whole situation is completely controlled.

05 Pay attention to the ramp When going up a steep slope, leave a good distance, use a low throttle, and do not change gears halfway. The low-gear wheels have low speed, which is not easy to slip, and the torque is large, so as to avoid not enough strength to stop on the slope or slip on the slope.

Deceleration tips When decelerating, make full use of the resistance of the engine to decelerate, and release the throttle in advance to reduce the speed of the driving wheel. If you need to use the brakes to stop, use the engine brakes to slow down the vehicle and then apply the brakes gently. Do not apply emergency braking on ice and snow roads to prevent the vehicle from sliding.

Prevent dark ice after heavy snowfall.

As the temperature drops below freezing.

Some roads are prone to "dark ice".

It brings great hidden dangers to the safe passage of vehicles.

Dark ice in the heart

These road sections. Drivers should pay attention to observation and drive cautiously.

01 Toll station There are many cars passing by the toll station crossing, stop and go, and the temperature of the car plus the temperature of the tires makes it easy to form dark ice after snowfall.

02 Bridge deck and culvert After the snowfall, the temperature is relatively high during the day, and the bridge or culvert is ventilated, and at night the bridge is covered with a thin layer of dark ice.

03 Dark Ice on the Slope Due to the long hours of sunlight on the slopes, the snow can easily melt, and when the sun sets, it will form a thin layer of ice.

04 Tunnel entrance and exit Generally speaking, both ends of the tunnel are bridge decks, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the tunnel is large, and the entrance and exit are prone to dark ice.

How to drive safely in the dark ice lurking.

Here are a few things to keep in mind.

0 1 Maintain a constant speed When driving on a road section with dark ice, you should step on the accelerator slowly and maintain a constant speed when starting, and never step on the accelerator violently. Due to the low resistance of the icy road, do not get too close to the car, and keep the usual 15-3 times the distance, when you need to accelerate or decelerate, the throttle should be slowly stepped down or released to prevent the drive wheels from slipping due to sudden acceleration or deceleration.

0 2 Deceleration in advance Due to the reduction of the coefficient of friction on icy roads, sudden braking will put the vehicle in an unstable state, causing dangerous situations such as increased braking distance, side slip and even overturning. If you don't know whether there is a dark ice road in front of you, please reduce the gear and speed in advance, and at the same time brake, do not brake rashly.

0 3 Slow Steering When turning on icy roads, the driver needs to reduce the speed to a safe range before entering the corner, turn slowly in the direction, and do not accelerate suddenly or slam on the brakes in the corner, otherwise the vehicle is easy to skid and lose control.

04 Pay attention to the slope section When the road surface is icy, it is dangerous to drive on the ramp. In particular, it is necessary to avoid stopping on slopes to avoid difficulties in starting due to skidding;When going downhill, you should also slow down to avoid skidding.

There is a slippage on the ice surface.

Downshifts and downspeeds, while triggering the brakes.

In case of accidents, keep in mind the "nine-character formula".

When the car pulls over and people evacuate, the police are called.

Driving in the snow. The point is"Slow".

Keep in mind the six-word formula of "speed reduction, distance control, and bright tail".
