What is the maximum speed on icy and snowy roads?
1 Answers
The maximum speed on icy and snowy roads should not exceed 30km/h. Below are precautions for driving on icy and snowy roads: 1. Before driving on icy or snowy roads, carefully inspect the tread wear of your car tires. The tire tread patterns must be clearly visible, and the wear on all tires should be roughly the same. Check the tire pressure to ensure it strictly meets the standard. 2. Also, verify that the steering, transmission, and braking systems are functioning reliably. Particularly, perform a braking test on the road to check if all wheels can be braked simultaneously and measure the braking distance of the car on icy or snowy roads. 3. When starting on icy or snowy surfaces, the drive wheels are prone to slipping and spinning. If not equipped with snow chains, you can attempt to start by partially engaging the clutch and gently pressing the accelerator pedal. Alternatively, you can use a gear one level higher than the normal starting gear, slowly release the clutch pedal, and moderately press the accelerator pedal. This allows the engine to output minimal power without stalling, reducing the torque on the drive wheels to match the lower traction on icy or snowy surfaces, ensuring a smooth start.
