As the Chinese New Year approaches, many people are starting to plan to return to their hometowns for the New Year. However, the rain and snow brought a lot of troubles to the friends who drove back to their hometowns. In such weather conditions, outdoor visibility is low, visibility is poor, and the road surface is prone to slippery and icy conditions, which increases the unsafety of travel. In order to ensure driving safety, the following precautions should be kept in mind:

1.Check the condition of your vehicle in advance: Before you go, make sure that all aspects of your vehicle are in good condition, especially the key components such as brakes, tires, wipers, etc. In addition, check whether the liquid level of antifreeze, glass water, etc. is sufficient to ensure that the vehicle operates normally in a low temperature environment.

2.Slow down and slow down: The road surface is slippery in rain and snow, and the braking distance is extended. When driving, reduce your speed, keep a safe distance, and avoid braking suddenly. When encountering curves, ramps and other complex road sections, it is necessary to slow down in advance to ensure safe passage.

3.Reasonable use of lights: In rainy and snowy weather, please turn on the front and rear fog lights, low beams, marker lights, etc., to increase the visibility of your vehicle. When necessary, use double flashing warning lights to alert the vehicle behind.

4.Keep your line of sight clear: In case of rain and snow, turn on the wipers in time to keep the windshield clear. If the glass is fogged, the dehumidification function of the air conditioner can be turned on to ensure a good line of sight.

5.Avoid shirking: When driving on slippery roads, avoid abruptly changing lanes or struggling directions. If you need to turn, slow down and slow down in advance to ensure a stable drive.

6.Take a break: It's easy to get tired on long drives, especially in bad weather conditions. Make sure you get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue driving. If you feel tired, choose a safe place to stop and rest.

7.Carry emergency supplies with you: Carry snow chains, shovels, emergency food, water, medicines, and other supplies in case you need them.

8.Obey traffic rules: Strictly follow traffic lights, traffic signs, and traffic police commands to ensure safe driving.

9.Stay calm: In the event of an emergency, stay calm and never panic. If the vehicle is out of control, hold on to the steering wheel and try to control the direction of the vehicle to avoid collision.

10.Turn off electronic devices such as mobile phones: While driving, avoid using electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets to avoid distraction.

In short, when driving home in rainy and snowy weather, safety is of paramount importance. Please be vigilant, strictly abide by traffic rules, and ensure the safety of yourself and others. Wishing you a safe journey and a happy holiday season! Hotspot Engine Program
