What Should Drivers Pay Attention to Before Exiting the Vehicle?
1 Answers
Before exiting the vehicle, drivers should carefully observe the situation on the left rear side and only open the door when it is confirmed that no one is passing by. Below is more relevant information: 1. Precautions for driving on icy and snowy roads: (1) Start gently with the accelerator: On icy and snowy roads, difficulty in starting the vehicle is a common issue, especially for front-wheel-drive vehicles where the front wheels are prone to slipping, which can be dangerous. Therefore, when starting on icy or snowy surfaces, the accelerator should be pressed more lightly, and forceful acceleration should be avoided. (2) Avoid sudden steering: When driving in snowy conditions, avoid making sudden turns with the steering wheel. Snowfall can lead to icy or muddy roads, significantly reducing tire traction. Sudden steering can cause the wheels to lose grip, making it impossible to complete the turn and leading to skidding. (3) Slow down and use turn signals more frequently when turning: Before entering a turn on snowy roads, reduce speed in advance and avoid braking to slow down after entering the turn. It is best to tap the brakes a few times before braking to alert the following vehicle to slow down and avoid a rear-end collision. 2. Precautions when using snow chains: If tire chains are used improperly, they can not only reduce the lifespan of the tires but also cause serious accidents. Ensure that the connections of the chains are free from knots or twists. When installing the chains on the tires, make sure that the hooks do not damage the tires. The chains should be installed in the center of the tires. If necessary, move the vehicle back and forth slightly to adjust the chains. When installing chains on only two wheels, they should be installed on the rear wheels.
