What Measures Can Be Taken in Case of Sudden Situations on Icy Roads?
1 Answers
When encountering sudden situations on icy roads, you can take measures such as driving slowly, avoiding emergency braking and sharp turns to prevent the vehicle from skidding off the road. Below are some precautions for driving on icy roads: 1. Do not follow other vehicles too closely on icy roads: Otherwise, if the vehicle in front slows down or brakes, it may easily cause a rear-end collision. Therefore, drivers should maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead based on terrain, speed, and load conditions. 2. Try to avoid overtaking on icy roads: If overtaking is absolutely necessary due to time constraints, be sure to choose a wide, flat section of the road with less ice and snow, and never force an overtake. When meeting another vehicle, select a flat and wide section of the road, maintaining sufficient lateral safety distance between the two vehicles, and avoid getting too close to the roadside. If the road is narrow, the driver with more space should take the initiative to stop or back up to yield.
