It is safe to drive with snow on the car. Introduction to driving in snowy conditions: Whether you can drive in snowy weather depends on the situation. If the snow on the road is thick and has accumulated for a long time, it is not recommended to drive, as the snow has been compacted by many vehicles and pedestrians, turning it into solid blocks. Driving on such a surface reduces the friction between the tires and the road, weakening traction. However, if the snow has just fallen and the road conditions are not severe, driving is possible. Precautions for driving in snow: Starting the car: After starting, let the engine idle for about 30 seconds, then drive at a low speed, keeping the engine between 1000-2000 RPM. After 3-5 minutes, the car will reach normal operating temperature, and the fluids will regain their fluidity. Gear selection: For automatic transmissions, you can shift into L or S mode; for manual transmissions, use second gear. After starting, drive according to the current gear.
