Given the fact that the weather conditions in winter change very often, it is worth talking about the rules of driving during this period of time.
It should be understood that winter roads require a completely different attitude. First of all, you need to think about winter tires, special washer fluid, as well as the serviceability of lighting equipment. If the driver does not use winter tires, then it is simply pointless to talk about his safety. In addition, some experts believe that spikes in certain cases can only aggravate the situation - for example, on a bare road. But on those sections where the road is especially slippery, the spikes help a lot.
Winter roads don't like reckless drivers. Drive smoothly and carefully, especially on icy terrain. Do not jerk the steering wheel sharply and press hard on the pedals, this will only make the skid stronger. You should know that in winter it is not necessary to gas. You need to leave the parking lot quietly and calmly. It is better to stall several times when trying to drive a rut than to get into a bad situation due to excessive haste. In addition, fromthe track can be rolled out. It is undesirable to stop downhill, especially if you cannot roll back downhill. This is also worth understanding.
Due to the fact that the winter maintenance of roads is not always of high quality, there are quite a lot of accidents due to drifts. You should be aware that the brake pedal in such conditions can do more harm than help. Remember: it is best to brake with the engine. If in the summer, when you press the pedal, the car slows down immediately, then in winter this factor can play a cruel joke - the car will stop much harder than in the summer. In addition, it is worth learning intermittent braking. In this case, the pressure on the pedal changes gradually, with intermittent movements.
Dangers fraught with winter roads can be found almost anywhere. But most often they appear on the corners. Do not accelerate too much if you will be maneuvering soon. Otherwise, it will simply not work to fit into the turn.
Believe me, you should not drive too fast in cold weather, as winter roads can surprise you. In addition, if you get into a skid, you need to remember certain rules of behavior in this situation. For example, in some cases, instead of the brake pedal, you should sharply press the gas. This rule is required if the car is front wheel drive.
Don't think that skidding appears only when driving on largespeeds. It can also quite easily occur when you sharply press or release the gas pedal. Once again, it is worth recalling that everything should be done smoothly and accurately.
You can improve your winter driving skills on certain roads. For example, roads in Canada with the onset of winter even pass along the Mackenzie River, which freezes. It is in these areas that motorists test their skills.
