Can You Practice Driving in the Snow?
1 Answers
You can practice driving in the snow, but it is necessary to maintain a proper speed and pay attention to details when starting and braking. Precautions for Starting: When igniting and starting, avoid wheel spinning. Remove the snow around the vehicle and tires beforehand, especially the snow on the front windshield to ensure good visibility for the driver. To prevent fogging caused by temperature differences, it is advisable to keep a dry cloth inside the car. Precautions While Driving: During normal driving in snowy conditions, react and brake earlier than usual. The friction coefficient on icy or snowy roads is only 0.1 to 0.2, which significantly increases the braking distance. Only by reacting early can you effectively avoid accidents. Use low gear for both uphill and downhill driving, and avoid shifting gears midway. When going uphill, be careful not to stall, as it can be difficult to start again. When going downhill, absolutely avoid coasting in neutral. Precautions for Braking: Whether the vehicle has ABS or not, do not shift to neutral. Instead, use the engine's traction to slow down. For vehicles with ABS, press the brake while controlling the direction, and avoid sudden steering. For vehicles without ABS, use the manual intermittent braking method to stop.
