Beware of accidents in cold weather

According to the analysis of the Wuhan Traffic Police Traffic Safety Risk Prevention and Control Center, traffic accidents are on the rise in bad weather such as low temperature rain, fog, and snow.

In bad weather, the bridges and ring roads in the central urban area, the highways, passages in and out of the city and national and provincial highways in the suburbs and new urban areas are accident-prone sections, and the waterfront bridge sections of the Fourth Ring Road (Houguanhu Bridge, Fuhe Bridge, Houhu Bridge, Xiaocaihu Bridge, Tangxun Lake Section, etc.) are especially reminded that the risk of traffic accidents is higher in bad weather such as rain, fog and snow.

In addition, inclement weather,The morning peak (5:00 to 9:00) is an accident-prone periodCar and pedestrian accidents are frequent, and the accident rate of heavy trucks and large buses has also increased to varying degrees.

Wuhan traffic police reminded that in low temperature and bad weather, the waterfront viaduct is easy to freeze, causing accidents; In addition, in bad weather, accidents such as vehicle rear-end collision, rollover, and side skid are mostly caused by the driver's excessive speed, improper operation, overloading, etc.; In addition, accidents occur frequently at night and in the early morning, and various factors such as untimely evacuation of vehicles, poor line of sight, and longer braking distance are prone to cause secondary accidents.

Safe driving tips

1.If you are driving in bad weather in rain or snow, please check the tires, brakes, lights, wipers and other devices in advance to ensure good safety performance.

2.When passing through bridges, viaducts, culverts, tunnels and other sections that are prone to icing, pay attention to maintaining low speed, especially in areas such as upper and lower viaducts, bridges, ramps, etc., and pay attention to slowing down and passing slowly. When driving on ice and snow roads, the speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, and at the same time, you should pay attention to keep a sufficient safety distance from the vehicle in front of you, and do not change lanes at will to "add congestion".

3.When there is a slippage on the ice, do not brake suddenly, do not slam the direction, and gently press the brakes to slow down until you fully control the vehicle and let the car stop slowly.

4.In rainy and snowy weather, the road surface is slippery, and riding an electric bicycle is prone to rollover, falling, etc., so try to choose public transportation in case of bad weather and avoid cycling.

5.When you encounter heavy fog while driving on the highway, slow down and turn on the tail lights, fog lights, warning flashers, marker lights and low beams; Do not drive fatigued, keep a safe distance, do not roll the line, do not overtake, and drive away from the nearest highway or into the service area; When there is sometimes fog and sometimes no fog on the road, do not let your guard down and slow down before entering the fog area.

6.In the event of a minor traffic accident where no one is injured and the car is moving, please evacuate the scene quickly after taking photos and collecting evidence, move the car to a place that does not affect the traffic, and negotiate through the traffic management 12123app, or you can leave each other's drivers and go to the fast claim center for processing. After an accident, do not argue or stay in the middle of the road to avoid causing a secondary accident.

The freezing rain fell into ice, and the destructive power was amazing

How to protect against freezing rain?

Here are five practical guides

1.Warm and non-slip N-piece set, quick arrangement

Wear more! Try not to show your ears, hands and feet, which are prone to frostbite. If you want to go out without falling, it's best to wear non-slip shoes.

2.Freezing rain is threatening, stay away from them

Freezing rain will freeze into ice on power lines, and the weight of the ice itself, combined with the effect of the wind, can easily strain the power lines and even pull down the power poles. Therefore, when we travel, we must stay away from telephone poles, trees, and eaves with ice hanging.

3.Traveling by car, carefully "slippery".

Freezing rain falls into ice, and traffic will be blocked due to the freezing of the ground, increasing the chance of traffic accidents. Therefore, regardless of whether you are a novice or an old driver, remember four words when driving: slow down and drive slowly! Do not overtake, accelerate sharply, make sharp turns or brake suddenly, and install tire chains if necessary.

4.Long distances, plan well

Freezing rain can easily cause the railroad tracks, waterways, and aircraft engines to freeze, causing delays in trains and planes. Friends who travel long distances must plan well in advance, it is best to avoid the strongest period of rain and snow, avoid places with heavy freezing rain, pay attention to the weather and road traffic information along the way, and pay attention to safety.

5.When rain or snow block the road, it is better to rest and rest before setting off

Rain, snow and freezing weather will affect road traffic, in case of road closures, traffic jams and other emergencies, follow the command of the on-site traffic police, on the spot or go to the nearest service station to wait for the road to be restored, if necessary, change the alternate route.
