What is the safe following distance on highways during snowy conditions?

[McElla]

Snowy roads are slippery, and the braking distance is five to six times longer than on dry asphalt roads. Avoid sudden braking in snowy conditions to prevent vehicle skidding. Additionally, visibility is reduced during snow. According to regulations, if visibility is less than 200 meters, maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from the vehicle ahead; if visibility is less than 100 meters, keep a distance of at least 50 meters. If visibility drops below 50 meters, exit the highway immediately. Below are some precautions for driving on highways during snowy conditions: 1. Safety Check: Inspect your vehicle for potential hazards before driving on the highway. 2. Seat Belts: Always wear seat belts, including passengers in the front and rear seats, and avoid placing loose objects in the vehicle. 3. Stay in One Lane: Avoid frequent lane changes on the highway—do not alternate between the passing lane and the travel lane, and never make sudden unannounced decelerations or stops in the travel lane. Do not drive side by side with other vehicles, avoid prolonged driving in the passing lane, and never attempt to overtake from the emergency lane. Also, prepare for lane changes in advance when exiting the highway to avoid missing your exit.
