The Traffic Management Brigade of the Xiji County Public Security Bureau issued traffic safety tips for snowfall and cooling in bad weather, reminding drivers and the public to minimize travel, and please pay attention to traffic safety when traveling.
Driving in snow is about safety
Paying attention to these is key!
Please pay attention to the weather changes, drive vehicles in special weather, use lights correctly, reduce speed, keep distance, and drive cautiously. Start.
When starting and accelerating, refueling should be light and slow, so that the driving force is less than the adhesion of the road surface, so as to avoid or reduce the occurrence of skidding and side slipping. The speed must not be directly raised to the high level, otherwise it is easy to cause the car to cut off the fuel and a short period of similar sudden braking will cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident. 
Decelerate. When decelerating, it is necessary to make full use of the resistance of the engine to decelerate, and release the throttle in advance to force the speed of the drive wheel to decrease. If you need to use the brakes to stop, use the engine brakes to slow down the vehicle and then apply the brakes gently. It is absolutely forbidden to apply emergency braking on snow and ice roads to prevent the vehicle from skidding. 
Veer. When turning, be sure to slow down first, increase the turning radius appropriately and slow down the steering wheel. Turning is prone to side skidding, because the steering is too violent, resulting in the lateral deflection of the steering wheel, resulting in a sudden increase in the resistance of the front of the vehicle, and the tail of the vehicle is thrown out to the outside under the action of inertia. Once the side slip occurs, it can be lifted by the appropriate return method. 
Vehicle distance. The resistance of the ice and snow road is small, so for the sake of safety, you must pay attention to avoid getting too close to the car and minimize overtaking. The braking distance on the ice and snow road is more than 3 times longer than the braking distance on the normal road, so the speed should be strictly controlled and the following distance should be increased. 
Lane changes. Driving on icy roads is directly related to safety and smooth driving. Keep walking in a straight line as much as possible, don't change lanes frequently, it's best to walk along the ruts where there are ruts, pay attention to the surrounding references where there are no ruts, identify the direction of the road, beware of potholes in the snow cover, and try to drive in the middle of the road. 
Snowfall weather will have an impact on the traffic of ice and snow extremely slippery roads, especially bridge decks, culverts, bends, slopes and other road sections of the traffic risk coefficient increases, visibility is low. Xiji Public Security Traffic Police Tips: Please be cautious and slow down for the majority of traffic participants, do not travel unless necessary, such as must travel to avoid the night temperature drop and the road surface is icy to travel, and check the status of the vehicle, as well as whether the safety facilities are complete, and standardize the fastening of seat belts. During the driving process, please pay attention to slow down (the speed limit on national and provincial roads is 40km h, and the speed limit on rural county and township roads is 30km h), keep the distance between vehicles, drive safely, and pay close attention to changes in road conditions and control information, pay attention to traffic safety, please keep in mind the safe and civilized driving of "controlling distance, slowing down, and bright tail".
Safety comes first when traveling in snow
The road surface is slippery, the wind is strong, and the temperature is low
The road surface is prone to ice after snow
Try to avoid driving as much as possible
You do need to driveBe sure to keep it in mind
"Speed reduction, distance control, bright tail" safety three treasures
