A snowstorm in Pennsylvania caused 66 cars to rear-end each other. What should I pay attention to when traveling in this weather?

Only after watching the news did I know that 66 cars were rear-ended one after another because of vehicle skidding. The traffic accident happened on an interstate highway in Pennsylvania, USA. When the snowstorm happened, one person died and many others were injured. When encountering extreme weather every year, the occurrence of traffic accidents has almost become an unchangeable theorem. The difference lies in the place and time. Unfortunately, although we are very careful, similar incidents still emerge one after another, so we can only give some suggestions to reduce the probability of accidents.

First of all, when it comes to extreme weather, the best old saying is that all drowning people are swimmers. If you don't get near the river, nothing will happen. Therefore, the accident has nothing to do with driving skills and experience. Many times, various unexpected factors have triggered the butterfly effect. The snowstorm came suddenly, and obviously the risk factor of travel was high, but many people still drove out. Although there is no way to arrange work, is life more important than money? I still measure myself. The safest way to reduce accidents is to arrange the departure time reasonably and avoid going out in bad weather.

Second, if you have to go out, please take safety measures. First of all, you decide to drive out, so please keep a clear head and don't drink. Some irritating foods should also be eaten as little as possible to avoid diarrhea in the middle. Then there is the vehicle protection land. In the face of blizzard weather, we must do a good job in anti-skid treatment of tires. This is no joke. When the road is frozen, whether it is uphill or downhill, once it slips, the brakes are completely useless. At this time, if you are in the traffic, it is easy to cause a serial rear-end collision. The accident in Pennsylvania was caused by out-of-control vehicles. Of course, anti-skid is not only the owner's own prevention, but also the relevant departments need to arrange for road deicing.

Third, strictly abide by the travel rules. I believe that everyone has learned the relevant content in the driving test, but many people still go their own way. Driving without grabbing the road is the advice given by the traffic police many times, because many car accidents are caused by the luck of grabbing the road. Secondly, hit the high beam less, because it will affect others' sight. As a qualified car owner, you should keep this in mind. The last and most important thing is to keep the distance between cars. A safe distance can determine your reaction time when an accident happens, so always pay attention to this warning line.

I believe that by doing the above, your journey will be more stable and safe, and I sincerely wish every car owner can go home safely.
