How to Drive on Ice and Snow Road
Time:2019-02-25 Reading number:
In the cold winter season, the road will inevitably accumulate some ice and snow, and then the danger factor of driving vehicles on such ice and snow road will be greatly increased, and there will be the risk of uncontrolled skidding at any time! ________ Next, Wutong Xiaobian and everyone together to understand how to drive on ice and snow pavement.
Hot car
Winter temperatures in the South will not be too low, so many southern car owners do not have the habit of hot cars. But when the temperature is low in winter in the north, it can reach below 10 degrees. If your car parks outside too long, it is necessary to have an idle hot car process when you start again. This will not only keep the engine water temperature stable to work temperature, but also raise the temperature inside the car and clear some frost and snow on the windshield glass. Nevertheless, we should also pay attention to the fact that the in-situ hot train lasts too long. Slow and slow running after the engine water temperature comes up is the kingdom.
Backup box for sand
Some friends who do not know how to do this think that the friction coefficient of ice and snow pavement is small, and the sand in the reserve box is to increase the friction coefficient of the rear wheel. At first glance, this argument has some truth, but in fact, you do not change the snow tyres, do not install anti-skid chains. Only the friction brought by this sand does not play much role, and the more it is loaded, the more oil consumption will be increased.
Is there sand in the trunk of a real old driver in winter? Tell you exactly, but only a small bag! That little bag of sand is not for pressing the wheels, but for getting rid of the trap when it comes to road or snow. The method of use is also simple, which wheel skid on the front of which wheel, using sand to increase friction coefficient.
Do not brake, accelerate or turn abruptly
Although many middle and high-end cars now have a lot of electronic stability control systems, what ESP, snow mode and so on, it is not true that they are useless at all, but they are far less useful than you imagine, let alone fantastically think that with their snow driving will not lose control, skid, if you give the accelerator, brake pedal, the same skid. It's out of control or out of control! So when driving in snowy weather, we must pay attention to avoiding "urgent" operations such as braking, accelerating and steering, so as to keep the vehicle out of control and away from you.
Timely replacement of snow tyres or installation of anti-skid chains
There are actually two kinds of equipment that can effectively improve driving safety on ice and snow pavement. The first one is snow tire, which has the advantages of good performance, beautiful appearance and durability. The second kind of tire anti-skid chain has the advantages of good effect and low cost, obvious shortcomings, ugly appearance and poor durability. Friends who drive long hours in urban areas can consider using snow tyres, which are functional and look good. Friends who often drive on flying pavement in villages and towns can consider anti-skid chains. Compared with snow tires, they are better in quality and cheaper. But pay attention to the metal anti-skid chains. Plastic anti-skid chains have a very short life in winter.
