What are the precautions for driving in snowy winter conditions?
1 Answers
When driving in snowy winter conditions, the following precautions should be taken: 1. Pay attention to the driving environment to respond to unexpected situations. 2. Check the tires before setting out. If the tires are severely worn, they need to be replaced promptly. 3. Increase the following distance. Rain and snow can make the road slippery, and increasing the following distance can prevent accidents caused by sudden braking of the vehicle ahead. 4. Control your speed. It is best to drive at a low speed in a low gear. If the speed is too high and braking is delayed, the consequences can be severe. 5. Brake early and gently. Sudden braking can cause the vehicle to skid, and if the vehicle does not have an ABS anti-lock braking system, the consequences can be even more serious. 6. Avoid slamming the accelerator. In winter, the road may be icy, reducing tire traction. Slamming the accelerator can cause the tires to spin, easily leading to an accident.
