What Are the Precautions for Safe Driving in Snow and Ice Weather?

[FaithFitz]

Precautions for safe driving in snow and ice weather are as follows: 1: Pay attention to tire pressure: Release some air from the tires to increase the contact area between the car and the icy road surface, which can enhance tire grip. 2. Slowly release the clutch: Always lift the clutch slowly and accelerate gently on icy roads. If you press the accelerator pedal too hard, it may cause side skidding or wheel spin, and even lead to loss of vehicle control. 3. Maintain a safe distance: Remember to keep a safe following distance, at least three times the normal distance, and drive at the lowest possible speed. 4. Avoid driving near the roadside: Try to drive in the tracks left by the vehicle ahead and avoid driving near the roadside. If you feel the drive wheels slipping, immediately ease off the accelerator. 5. Use lights properly: In snowy and icy weather with low visibility, be sure to turn on the width lights, fog lights, low beams, hazard warning lights, etc., and honk the horn as needed to indicate the distance between vehicles.
