How to drive when the road is frozen in heavy snow?

When encountering heavy snow, freezing has caused great difficulties for ordinary people to travel, especially novice drivers. In this weather, they really dare not drive on the road.

First, don't drive too fast.

Speed control is the key to driving on ice. When driving on snowy roads, the braking distance is obviously longer than that on dry roads. If you drive to 100km/h on the icy road, the braking distance required for it to slow down to a standstill will exceed 150m, so when you drive at this speed, you will have no time to see the distant obstacles clearly, and emergency braking is likely to lead to tail swinging, which will cause greater danger. At the same time, many ordinary people don't change into winter tires in winter, so it is necessary to pay more attention to driving on icy roads, don't drive too fast, and keep enough distance from the car in front.

Second, concentrate and always pay attention to emergencies.

Because the icy road is quite smooth, you should always pay attention and keep your concentration when driving. Predict the road ahead, so as to take timely measures when the incident occurs and prevent accidents due to inaccurate operation.

Third, try to walk in a straight line

Many people like to swim in the river while driving to show their driving skills. However, when driving a vehicle on an icy road, don't do such dangerous actions, because it is easy for the vehicle to stop or slip due to frequent steering. Therefore, drivers need to pay attention to slow down, keep driving in a straight line, don't change lanes frequently, and the distance from the car in front is twice as long as usual.

Four, matters needing attention when turning uphill

When driving on the road, you will inevitably encounter ramps and bends, especially the ramps of some overpasses, which are both ramps and bends. If the road here is frozen, it will be more prone to accidents than other road sections. When turning, you need to slow down in advance, keep driving at a low speed, and it is forbidden to overtake or change lanes in the corner. When going uphill, you should try to keep low gear and avoid shifting gears. Avoid sliding in neutral when going downhill, and be careful not to step on the brakes. You can slow down by downshifting.

Fifth, lighting control.

If the visibility is poor, or it snows, turn on the front and rear fog lights to let others find you in time. However, if the visibility is good, or the weather is fine after snow, it is necessary to turn off the fog lights, so as not to irritate the eyes of the drivers of the front and rear vehicles and cause accidents.

Sixth, always pay attention to pedestrians and non-motor vehicles.

Pay close attention to pedestrians around you when crossing intersections and turning, especially those who ride bicycles and electric cars. Their balance ability and handling on icy roads are worse than those of four-wheeled vehicles. So many times the accident is probably because pedestrians or two-wheeled vehicles can't control themselves and hit a motor vehicle. But as long as there is an accident, no matter who is responsible, it will be very troublesome, especially pedestrians and non-motor vehicles and motor vehicles. So try to let pedestrians, people riding electric cars and motorcycles go first.
