Driving in rainy and snowy weather, whether it is a white or an old driver, at this time you can have a snack, your life is your own, for example, you have to drive extra carefully, and there are several key operations to remember.
First, make sure to turn on the wipers in time to maintain a clear view of the front windshield. In dim light, it is necessary to turn on fog lights, marker lights, and low beams. Let other vehicles and pedestrians notice you when visibility is poor or snowy, if visibility is good, but in rain and snow, try not to use high beams, because high beams are prone to scattering and have poor penetration in snow.
If fogging appears on the windshield, the air conditioner should be turned on and air should be blown towards the glass to remove the fog; For rear windshield fogging, a rear windshield heater is needed to quickly eliminate and avoid obstructed view.
In addition, the road surface becomes slippery, especially in winter, and the road surface can even become icy, which can greatly reduce the grip of the tires. If the driver slams on the accelerator and the vehicle accelerates too fast, it may cause the tires to slip or even slide sideways, which is very likely to cause traffic accidents.
In such weather conditions, a "lubricating film" will form between the tires and the road surface, which will reduce the braking performance of the car and make it easy to slip. Therefore, you should keep your hands firmly on the steering wheel, keep the vehicle straight and slow down when driving. When you need to turn, you should apply the brakes slowly to avoid sideslipping due to tyre locking or inertia.
If the road surface is really icy, you should reduce your speed and avoid braking hard to prevent uncontrolled skidding. While driving, avoid hard acceleration, hard braking, and sharp turns.
If it's a corner, you have to show off your driving skills. Hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands, adopt correct direction skills, and avoid one-handed operation, so that the direction of the vehicle can be corrected in time in case of emergency. Moreover, when the vehicle turns on ice and snow roads, the front-wheel drive vehicle is prone to understeer, while the rear-wheel drive vehicle is prone to oversteer and flick its tail. Therefore, you should be more cautious when cornering and always pay attention to the trajectory of the vehicle.
When turning on ice and snow roads, you need to reduce the speed to a safe range in advance when entering the corner, slowly turn the corner, and do not suddenly oil or brake heavily in the corner, otherwise it will easily lead to loss of control. The correct way to do this is: slow down before the corner, release the brakes and slow down the direction, the vehicle slips around the corner, slowly return to the steering wheel, and finally accelerate slowly.
To further ensure safety, it is necessary to maintain a safe distance between vehicles. You have to adjust the distance to the car in front according to your driving speed to allow enough time to react. In general, if the driving speed is 50 km/h, the distance to the vehicle in front should be at least 50 meters, and this distance should be doubled in bad weather.
When pedestrians and cyclists have limited vision and hearing because of umbrellas or raincoats, and suddenly cross the road in order to hurry, then you can avoid such accidents to the greatest extent, and then be patient to avoid, if you meet the grandmother, you can even choose to park in a safe place, do not rush to rush.
