1 Answers
When driving a motor vehicle on ice and snow roads, pay attention to: 1. Maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead, especially in snowy conditions with poor visibility. Drive at a slow and steady speed, avoiding sharp turns and sudden braking. 2. Observe and assess road conditions, particularly at turns, slopes, forks, and bridges where the road surface may be covered with ice and snow. Do not proceed blindly. 3. Drive smoothly without frequent lane changes. Avoid overtaking when possible. When changing lanes, be decisive and use turn signals in advance. Minimize braking, especially emergency braking. 4. Make turns slowly without jerking the steering wheel. Use the handbrake when parking. When using the foot brake, apply gradual pressure to slow down instead of stomping on it. Bring the vehicle to a stop gently.
