Hengshui Police Tip: Pay attention to the common "danger" in winter driving

Police tips: There are four main types of accidents in winter:

Danger 1: poor sight

The weather is cold and the windshield is prone to frost, causing blurred vision. The police reminded: If you want to defrost, you can start the engine first, turn on the warm air in the car, use a special snow shovel for car glass, and slowly remove the ice from the ice gap. If you take a hot shower for the car after snow, it is a devastation to the car, because the sudden change in temperature will damage the car paint and make it gradually lose its luster, and the car's windshield may also be pouring hot water Burst. The correct way to wash the car at this time is to start the car to turn on the heating system on the car, and then wipe the car with warm water. This will prevent the driver's sight from being affected and cause errors in judgment. At the same time, when the sight is not good, the driver should concentrate, but not too nervous, and slow down if necessary.

Danger 2: Demisting by hand

In winter, it is easy to produce fog on the window glass, which seriously blocks the view. Many people will hold the steering wheel in one hand and wipe the windshield in one hand. This is a very risky practice. The police reminded that the car is usually closed in winter. Due to the temperature difference between inside and outside, fog is easily generated on the glass and affects driving. The easiest way to deal with fog is to use the air conditioning system on the car to adjust the temperature inside the car. It is best to leave the air conditioning system in working condition before going to the high speed to avoid fog when the vehicle is driving on the highway. In addition, applying a layer of detergent to the windshield before going to the high speed is also a good way to deal with fogging.

Danger 3: Overspeed

The winter road is very cold and the road surface is very slippery. If the driver relaxes his vigilance, the tire will slip easily when the speed is too fast. At this time, slamming on the brakes and the direction of the taxi may cause the vehicle to lose control. The police reminded: Such accidents usually occur on some roads with fewer vehicles. The driver is easy to be paralyzed, the speed of the vehicle cannot be controlled well, or even speeding, which is likely to cause accidents. In winter, drivers should pay special attention to control their speed when driving through small traffic highway sections.

Danger 4: Sudden change of lane

In addition to the accident of bicycle collision with guardrail caused by excessive speed in winter, the frequent occurrence of rear-end collisions near the intersection is another prominent situation. The police reminded: Highway intersections are also places where accidents occur frequently. There are two main reasons. First, the driver's direction is not accurate, the brakes are sharp, and the lane is changed sharply. Second, the road is slippery and the driver of the rear vehicle does not keep enough Car distance. Therefore, drivers should pay more attention to traffic warning signs, slow down in advance, and must turn on turn signals when changing lanes to ensure that the rear driver can only change lanes after knowing the intention to change lanes; brake.
