1 Answers
When driving on highways in snowy weather, attention should be paid to increasing the following distance; avoid stepping on the accelerator abruptly; do not brake suddenly; check the tires. Increase the following distance: In rainy or snowy weather, the road surface is slippery, and the braking distance increases. While driving, it is advisable to slow down appropriately and increase the following distance to prevent rear-end collisions. Do not step on the accelerator abruptly: In winter, temperatures are low, and the road surface may be icy, reducing tire grip. If the accelerator is stepped on abruptly, the car may accelerate too quickly, causing the tires to skid. Do not brake suddenly: In rainy or snowy weather, sudden braking can cause the vehicle to skid. If the vehicle does not have an anti-lock braking system, the consequences can be more severe. Therefore, braking should be 'predictive,' done in advance and gently.
