How to Drive on Snow and Ice Roads

[ZacharyLynn]

Driving on snow and ice roads requires the following methods: 1. When starting, the clutch should be half-engaged, and the accelerator should be gently pressed to allow the engine to output minimal power without stalling, adapting to the snowy and icy road surface to improve traction. Use predictive braking and rely on the engine's drag effect to decelerate as much as possible. Use the handbrake more often and the footbrake less to avoid emergency braking. 2. When turning, always reduce speed to the maximum extent in advance, stabilize the steering wheel, and turn slowly and return slowly. Without affecting oncoming traffic, try to increase the turning radius to reduce centrifugal force during the turn. Remember not to turn quickly or sharply to prevent side slipping and skidding. Avoid overtaking whenever possible. When meeting another vehicle, choose a flat and wide section of the road and maintain sufficient lateral safety distance between the two vehicles. If it is snowing while driving, reduce speed and use the windshield wiper to improve visibility.
