1. Pay attention to traffic and road condition information and adjust travel plans in a timely manner. This round of rain and snow weather has a wide range of impacts, and it is recommended that the public keep abreast of the traffic and traffic safety tips issued by relevant departments, and arrange travel time and routes reasonably; Pay attention to traffic information such as highway closures and airport delays, and adjust travel plans in a timely manner.

2. Keep a safe distance between cars and do not panic in case of emergencies. When encountering low temperatures, rain, snow and freezing weather, avoid driving as much as possible. If you really need to drive a car, you should reduce your speed, keep your distance, drive cautiously, strictly limit your speed while driving, and keep 1 with the vehicle in front5 to 3 times the distance between the car, if there is a side slip or tail flick during the drive, do not panic, turn the steering wheel gently along the direction of the skid, and then gently step on the brakes after the vehicle returns to the right to prevent the vehicle from losing control.

3. Keep in mind the two tricks of "slow" and "soft" when driving. When the public in the south encounters heavy snowfall or travels to the north by car, they must keep in mind the two major tricks "slow" and "soft", the maximum speed does not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and the operation of hitting the steering wheel, stepping on the accelerator and brake should be as gentle as possible. When driving on snow and ice, try to avoid merging and overtaking, especially not overtaking in corners.

Fourth, be wary of dark ice on special road sections. After the rain and snow weather is over, there may be "dark ice" at toll stations, bridge decks, tunnel entrances and exits, and slope sections, and the friction coefficient of the road surface is reduced, and it is easy to slip.

5. Don't drive tiredly, and remember the nine-character formula in case of accidents. Novice drivers who choose to drive home by themselves should not be blindly confident in their driving skills, and must strictly abide by traffic laws and regulations and drive a motor vehicle accompanied by skilled personnel. It is easy to get tired after driving for a long time, so you should ensure sufficient sleep before driving, and it is recommended to increase the number of times you enter the service area to rest and adjust. If an accident occurs on the highway, keep in mind the nine-character formula of "pull over, evacuate, and call the police" to prevent secondary accidents, quickly move the vehicle to the emergency lane, place warning signs 150 meters away from the direction of the incoming vehicle in time, and evacuate the personnel on the vehicle to a safe area such as outside the highway guardrail in time, and do not stay around the vehicle.
