Always maintain a low speed, use lights appropriately, and keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Below are traffic safety precautions for rain and snow weather conditions: 1. Wet and slippery road surfaces in rain and snow weather: Reduce speed while driving, avoid emergency braking and sharp turns to prevent vehicle skidding and potential hazards. 2. Before driving in rain or snow: Check the wipers and lights, and turn on the side marker lights or low beams during the journey. 3. Driving in heavy snow: Install snow chains if possible, and follow existing tire tracks on heavily snow-covered roads. 4. Icy roads: The braking distance is 2-3 times that of dry roads, so please slow down, maintain a safe distance from vehicles in both lateral and longitudinal directions, minimize lane changes, and avoid overtaking. 5. Driving in rain or snow: Use intermittent braking or gear shifting to slow down; when turning, first reduce speed, appropriately increase the turning radius, and steer slowly to avoid losing control of the vehicle. 6. When driving on slippery uphill sections covered with snow: Wait at the bottom of the slope and proceed only after the preceding vehicle has reached the top.
