1 Answers
The methods for driving safely on snowy and icy roads are: 1. Appropriately reduce tire pressure to increase traction; 2. Promptly defrost and defog to maintain good driving visibility, and pay attention to the movement of vehicles in front, behind, and on both sides; 3. Start the vehicle without pressing the accelerator or press it gently to prevent wheel spin and skidding; 4. Drive straight as much as possible and avoid frequent lane changes; 5. Lightly apply the brake to slow down during turns and downshift while turning to avoid skidding; 6. Control speed when going downhill, gently press the accelerator to maintain a steady speed, and avoid sudden acceleration. Factors affecting safe driving on snowy and icy roads include: 1. Slippery road surfaces reduce vehicle stability, worsen braking performance, increase braking distance, and make wheels prone to spinning or skidding when accelerating too quickly; 2. Snow reflection of light can easily cause driver glare and illusions.
