1. Stable start, slow braking, and controlled speed. In cold weather, the impact and friction between the engine parts of the car are more severe, especially when starting the engine. The car's various fluids are still in a half-off state, so starting the car must be slow. Control of the car speed is also very important. When driving on snowy roads, the braking distance will obviously be longer than on dry roads, and it is more prone to rear-end collisions.
2. Minimize lane changing Lane changing is not a good way to show your driving skills. When driving on a slippery icy road, frequent lane changing can easily cause the vehicle to skid. Keep driving slowly, try to keep driving in a straight line, do not change lanes or overtake frequently, and ensure sufficient distance between the vehicle and the car in front.
3. Reduce speed when turning Curves should be avoided when overtaking Hill slopes and curves are high-risk areas for traffic accidents in winter. When turning, it is necessary to slow down in advance to ensure low-speed turning. Overtaking or changing lanes in curves is extremely dangerous behavior. When ascending a slope, maintain low gear and avoid shifting gears. When descending a slope, avoid neutral sliding and do not step on the brake pedal. You can use downshifting to assist in reducing speed.
4. Pay close attention to pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles Winter driving requires more attention to pedestrians than usual, especially those riding non-motorized vehicles. Wet and slippery roads make their control ability worse. Cases of pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles hitting motor vehicles are common, but as long as there is an accident, no matter who is responsible, it will be very annoying. Therefore, try to let pedestrians and people riding non-motorized vehicles go first, take a step back and everything will be fine.
