What are the winter driving safety precautions and countermeasures?

[JulianDella]

When driving in winter, pay attention to proper warm-up, gentle starting, speed control, caution when entering and exiting tunnels, timely window defogging, correct use of fog lights, early deceleration when meeting other vehicles, and careful selection of parking locations. Proper warm-up: In winter, the weather is cold, and the viscosity of lubricating oil increases, making it difficult to flow. At this time, the vehicle will start relatively slowly (possibly accompanied by unstable idling or excessively high idling). It is recommended that owners warm up the vehicle for no more than 30 seconds in place, after which they can drive slowly to warm up the vehicle. Gentle starting: Winter starts must be soft and slow. On the one hand, this is to reduce the load on the engine before it reaches normal operating temperature; on the other hand, it also allows the tires to gradually warm up, which is beneficial for the engine, tires, and safety. During driving, pay attention to controlling speed and brake gently. When encountering rain or fog, slow down and maintain a safe distance. When turning, decelerate in advance and adjust the angle slowly, avoiding sudden steering wheel movements.
