Snowy weather
This may face some tests for friends who have not driven for a long time and have less mileage. Today, I will give a real demonstration on how to do a good job of defensive driving in rainy and snowy weather and three key points that novices need to grasp.
Scene 1: Prepare to turn right at the intersection ahead, release the throttle to slow down in advance, and observe whether there are non-motor vehicles in the right non-motor vehicle lane.
Observe whether there is a car coming from the left crosswalk, and now see a car coming quickly from the left crosswalk.
Just as I crossed the stop line and turned right, the car came in front of me and drove past quickly.
Defense skills at right turn intersection: observe the vehicles on the left crosswalk in advance. Drivers who drive fast like this belong to unprincipled drivers in rainy and snowy weather, because when they need to brake, they will lose control of their direction and slip and roll over. My coping strategy as a turning vehicle is to observe ahead of time, put down the throttle in advance and slow down so that he can pass first.
Scene 1: Intermediate operation points: gear restraint, release the throttle to slow down instead of braking. The correct operation method is to lift the right foot gently and slowly release the throttle until the throttle is completely released. On particularly slippery roads, automatic transmission vehicles can travel directly in manual mode M2, L or S; Manual transmission vehicles directly put into second gear. When it is necessary to slow down when driving in a low gear, releasing the throttle will hold the gear and achieve the purpose of slowing down without braking.
Scene 2: The vehicle in front turns on the left turn signal and intends to change lanes. The reason is that there are vehicles temporarily occupying the road in front of the driveway and need to bypass.
At this time, a black car turned out of the side road and had to cross the rightmost lane and go straight to the left lane. As the driver of this black car, this operation is no problem in good weather and good road conditions, because the distance between me and him is relatively safe. But now this road condition is not very safe, because the braking distance will be longer in rainy and snowy weather. At this time, he will turn out, so I have to slow down and prevent collision. I definitely want to brake, but it's hard to say how effective the braking is.
Defense skills for sudden obstacles ahead: observe the road ahead at any time while driving and deal with obstacles ahead in advance. First, lose the throttle and slow down. Observe the left rearview mirror at the same time to ensure the safety of the left rear. Change lanes slowly to the left, and at the same time, brake gently. This series of actions requires instant response and completion. If the response is slow, the vehicle will be more dangerous when it arrives. Therefore, in rainy and snowy weather, the distance between cars is larger than usual, which can be 1 to 5 times larger than usual according to the speed and road conditions. This can ensure that there is enough reaction time when there is an emergency ahead.
Scene 2 Operation points: Constantly lightly stepping on the brakes can effectively avoid skidding or even rollover caused by sudden braking. Light braking allows the brakes to apply force and then release them.
It should be judged according to speed and distance. If the speed is relatively fast and the distance is relatively close, how to brake depends on the brake configuration of your vehicle. Vehicles equipped with ABS can be stamped to the end, because it will not cause brake lock. If it is an ordinary mechanical brake, it is necessary to take a little braking method, step on it and lift it up, and repeat this for two or three times until it stops. Hold the steering wheel firmly when braking. If the direction is out of control, you can control it by gently steering in the oblique direction of the front of the car and returning to the right side. Remember not to slam into the opposite lane, which may cause more losses.
Scene 3: Now the two-lane auxiliary road is driving in the left lane, and there is a red car in front of the right road. It seems that he drives slowly and straight because of the slippery road.
He turned right and the light came on. I drive faster than him. Now I'm about to catch up with him and intend to overtake him.
Just a few meters away from him, he suddenly braked and turned left. It turned out that there was a sanitation worker shoveling snow in front of his vehicle. The driver should have found it long ago, but he didn't respond in advance, such as changing lanes in advance and braking in advance. It's too late for me to brake now. Even if I brake suddenly, I may slip.
Honk the horn to slow down and continue to pass, while pointing slightly to the left.
I didn't brake because it was too late, but it would slip. You can't rush to the left because there is a green belt on the left, or the snow is thick. If the left wheel is pressed upward to the left, the left wheel and the right wheel will slip due to different resistances. Control the left wheel by slowing down and turning left slightly on the road without snow, even if the red car continues to change lanes to the left and scrape to my right, it will not be serious, and the red car will be responsible. This is the lesser of two evils.
Scene 3 operation points: stabilize the direction, reduce the speed and meet the acceptable scraping. When it is impossible to avoid or avoid a bigger accident caused by avoidance, we must adopt a conservative strategy. First, stabilize the direction, so as to avoid mistakes leading to planning rollover;
The second is to slow down and face the reality, even if it is scraped, it can minimize the loss and let the other party bear the responsibility.
