What should be noted when driving a motor vehicle on icy and snowy roads?

Here are the precautions for driving a motor vehicle on icy and snowy roads: 1. Use vehicles equipped with traction control systems such as TCS, TRC, or ASR. 2. Press the accelerator gently and increase speed slowly, using the transmission to control the speed. 3. Brake in advance, leaving sufficient distance and reaction time. 4. Avoid sudden steering; make wider turns when steering. If side slipping occurs, do not panic, and avoid braking abruptly on sharp curves—control speed by downshifting instead. 5. Follow the tire tracks of the vehicle ahead. 6. Regularly clear snow and ice between the tires and fenders to reduce the chance of tire slippage. 7. Maintain good visibility through the front and rear windshields, and clean the rearview mirrors before driving.
