In this article we will look at five rules that every driver must know and remember. Let's go!
Slipping
To avoid this unpleasant moment when starting to move, you should pay attention to:
— smooth pressure on the brake pedal,
— evenly spaced wheels, leveled steering wheel.
Towing on ice is a very unpleasant and dangerous moment. You should drive with caution, drive smoothly, and monitor the condition of the road ahead. To determine whether there is ice under the wheels, you can press the brake several times on a free section of the road. If the ABS system begins to vibrate, this indicates a slippery surface.
Be two steps ahead
In addition to driving carefully, you should always remember:
— Look at the situation ahead of you.
We never know what can happen to cars in our lane during icy conditions.
Skidding can lead to collisions.
Therefore, it is very important to keep your distance.
Wheel direction
It is necessary to point the wheels in the direction of potential maximum traction.
Snow mounds, rough ice and asphalt are what will help with sudden braking. Studded tires perform especially well on snow, so we pay attention to the road surface.
It is also worth going along “proven” routes. People who drove before you have already experienced this section of the road. You should not rely on fate and pay attention to already explored paths.
Car check-up
We have already presented two articles to our readers. In one of which they talked about the necessary things for the winter season, in the other they described in detail the types and types of tires. We recommend that you read the posts. Perhaps you will find them useful and refresh your memory of all the knowledge about preparing for the harsh season.
Warming up the car
It is important to repeat that the key to good operation of all engine components and equipment is high-quality heating of the vehicle.
When we pay attention to this process, the trip is a pleasure.
Having good air circulation in the cabin will help distribute heat evenly throughout the body. It is important to check the condition of the filters and anti-fog gaskets.
Brushes must be in good condition and extra anti-freeze fluid must be stored in the luggage compartment.
We did a little checking and realized what you should pay attention to when traveling in winter.
We wish you attentive and at the same time pleasant driving.
