With the arrival of the Spring Festival, more and more families and migrant workers want to go home, and judging from the news pushed recently, the National Meteorological Administration has launched an emergency response to deal with the impact of rain, snow and freezing weather. This year's rain and snow disasters are serious, and you must protect your personal and property safety.
For those who travel in rain and snow, you can take a look at the rain and snow weather travel guide:
When traveling in rain and snow, the road surface is slippery on snowy days when walking, so change into non-slip shoes when you go out to walk.
Since most families will choose to drive home for nine days of free on the expressway, families who drive should pay special attention to driving safety.
When driving in rainy and snowy weather, it is necessary to prepare antifreeze, change the glass of water in advance, and beware of the vehicle being frozen, resulting in inability to travel. Before driving, you should clear the snow on the car, check whether the lights, brakes, direction, tire pressure and other conditions of the car are in good condition, change into snow tires, and it is best to prepare snow chains and snow shovels. These determine our experience and safety after traveling.
Be cautious and slow and use lighting wisely. On the road, the road surface is slippery in snowy days, the tire friction is low, and the braking distance is extended, which brings a lot of hidden dangers to driving safety. The most important thing is to concentrate, turn on the wipers in time to maintain a clear view, and use the lights correctly according to the amount of snow.
Reduce the number of lane changes. Sight is affected in snowy days, foggy days are likely to occur, and the road surface is slippery, so it is not necessary to change lanes or overtake; When you really need to overtake, you should observe carefully and turn on your turn signal before overtaking.
Keep enough distance from the vehicle in front. The road resistance in snow is very small, only a quarter of the dry asphalt pavement, so the driving distance is 4-5 times larger than the dry asphalt pavement, and it is difficult to brake the car in a short distance if the following distance is too close, which is easy to cause a rear-end accident.
Snow is prone to sudden waterslides on the highway:
When driving on the highway in snowy days, you should be careful when driving on the highway in snowy days, the water between the tires and the road surface cannot be effectively removed, and the tires float on the surface of the water layer, which is prone to hydroplaning. In the case of hydroplaning, the vehicle can easily lose control due to the minimal friction between the tires and the road surface.
Encounter hydroplaning. First, stabilize your direction. Normally, when a front-wheel drive vehicle is hydroplaned, the rear wheels are the first to slide due to the heavier front body. At this point, just hold the steering wheel and wait for the speed to reduce to regain grip and you can get out of danger.
Then lift the throttle slowly. You can't slam on the brakes when driving at high speed in snow, and it is not advisable to slam the accelerator throttle, and its effect is equivalent to braking hard. The correct way to face slippery roads in snow is to accelerate and slowly press the accelerator, and slow down and slowly lift the accelerator, which will reduce the possibility of hydroplaning.
When I go home and often pass through the secondary section, I should be more careful in these sharp bends and slippery places, step on the accelerator slowly, pay attention to the distance, and honk the horn when passing through the turning area to confirm that there is no car in the opposite direction. It is best to drive with the ruts of the car in front of you, and do not drive into the snow at will, which may cause skiddling or foreign objects to injure the wheels.
Therefore, when you go home and drive a vehicle in snowy weather, remember to keep driving at a low speed and avoid sudden speed; On the road near your home, especially in the countryside, you must pay attention to check the condition of your vehicle, the rural weather is cold and freezing, remember to prepare car antifreeze, and the engine oil should be sufficient. It's a good idea to wear snow chains on your tires when going uphill.
It should also be noted that the battery of pure electric vehicles will be affected in winter, so everyone chooses vehicles carefully. In addition, it is easy to encounter slippage or difficulty in going uphill in rainy and snowy days, which depends on how your vehicle is.
Personally, I would recommend four-wheel drive models, such as the Audi quattro model, which is equipped with an electric motor on the front and rear axles of this four-wheel drive system, and the interaction between the motors constitutes an electric quattro four-wheel drive system, which can achieve the perfect combination of the efficiency of the single-axis drive system and the handling and traction of the four-wheel drive system. On uphill or slippery roads, you have a greater sense of control over the car.
And there are some corresponding representative models of different four-wheel drive, we can take this as an example.
Timely four-wheel drive + multi-plate clutch, such as models: Audi A4L, Quattro Ultra generally front drive. In case of sudden acceleration, high-speed driving, and empty wheel hanging, the four-wheel drive system of the wheels will intervene. So this system is not very satisfying.
Full-time four-wheel drive + multi-plate clutch, e.g. models: Audi Q3, Audi TT and Audi TTS, etc. This version of the car uses a low-performance multi-plate clutch, which is not considered to be a quattro with poor performance, and everyone thinks that this all-wheel drive system is not really quattro.
Full-time four-wheel drive + mechanical torque limited-slip differential, such as vehicle model: Audi RS4, Audi RS7, Audi RS Q8, Audi S4, Audi A8, etc. The mechanical torque limited-slip differential is an improved version of the Towson differential, and this all-wheel drive system performs well, and the mechanical torque limited-slip differential can distribute more torque to the rear wheels.
Full-time 4WD + rear axle differential, e.g. model: Audi RS3. But this car has been discontinued, so you can find out for yourself.
I wish you all a safe journey!
