What should be paid attention to when driving on icy and snowy roads?

Precautions for driving on icy and snowy roads are as follows: 1. Start slowly and gently press the accelerator: On icy and snowy roads, difficulty in starting the vehicle is a common situation, especially for front-wheel-drive cars where the front wheels are prone to slipping, which can be very dangerous. Therefore, when starting on icy and snowy roads, the force applied to the accelerator should be lighter, and avoid pressing the accelerator too hard when starting. 2. Predict in advance to ensure safety: "Prediction" is essential when driving in snowy conditions, and it should be more important than usual. Snowfall can greatly affect driving visibility, making it even more necessary to judge the situation ahead in advance to avoid sudden steering or emergency braking. 3. Avoid sudden steering: When driving in snowy conditions, avoid sudden steering. Snowfall can cause snow and ice accumulation or muddy roads, significantly reducing tire grip. Sudden steering can cause the wheels to lose grip, making it impossible to complete the turning operation and leading to skidding. 4. Slow down and flash lights more when turning: Before entering a turn in snowy conditions, reduce the speed in advance and avoid braking to slow down after entering the turn. It is best to press the brake a few times before braking to alert the following vehicle to slow down and avoid a rear-end collision. 5. Do not panic in emergencies: If skidding or fishtailing occurs while driving, do not panic. At this time, gently release the accelerator and slightly correct the direction, continuously adjusting between steering and correcting, but not too much. Avoid slamming on the brakes when skidding or fishtailing, as this will not only be ineffective in slowing down but may also cause the vehicle to lose control.
