When driving a motor vehicle in fog, rain or snow and visibility is within 50 meters, the maximum speed cannot be exceeded

When driving a motor vehicle in fog, rain or snow, when the visibility is within 50 meters, the maximum speed cannot exceed 30 kilometers per hour. If it is a tractor, battery vehicle, or wheeled special mechanical vehicle, the maximum speed cannot exceed 15 kilometers per hour.

You also need to pay attention to the following points when driving on ice and snow roads:

1. Don’t start too fast. The vehicle must gradually increase speed, and the speed must not be too fast at the same time;

< p>2. When the vehicle is driving, if you want to speed up, the owner needs to gently step on the accelerator pedal, do not step on it hard, the vehicle will easily slip;

3. Keep the distance between you and other vehicles. In an emergency, do not hesitate to apply the brakes in advance, because the ice and snow roads are slippery and the car may not be able to brake;

4. If the car owner has the conditions, he or she can replace snow tires or install additional ones. Anti-skid chains reduce the chance of vehicle skidding.

Precautions when driving a motor vehicle on rainy days:

1. Slow down and drive slowly. Regardless of the width of the road or the condition of the road surface, drive slowly in the rain, pay attention to the distance between the vehicles in front and behind you and your own car at all times, and be mentally prepared to take various emergency measures in advance. Visibility in rainy days is low, the field of view is poor, and the vehicle's braking distance and other emergency performance will also be reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to slow down in advance and leave enough time and space to deal with the situation to ensure safety;

2. Keep a distance between vehicles. . When driving on rainy days, the field of vision is blocked, so pay attention to keep the distance between vehicles, observe the distance between the front and rear vehicles at any time, and increase the safe distance. Especially stay away from large vehicles. Firstly, it will block the line of sight; secondly, small vehicles may not be able to pass through the accumulated water that large vehicles can pass, and large vehicles can easily splash water waves and interfere with the movement of small vehicles;

3. Driving in rainy days Turn on the fog lights. Turning on your fog lights on rainy days is not to let you see others clearly, but to make other drivers notice you. On rainy days, you should make full use of fog lights to enhance driving safety. If necessary, turn on the hazard warning lights, so that the vehicles behind you can always notice you. Dynamics ahead. Even if there are no fog lights, turn on the low beam headlights;

4. Pay attention to pedestrians. Because pedestrians hold umbrellas and cyclists wear ponchos in the rain, their sight, hearing, and reactions are restricted. Sometimes they make sharp turns in order to cross the road, often panicking and slipping when vehicles approach, catching the driver off guard. When encountering this situation, the driver should slow down, patiently avoid, choose a safe place to park if necessary, and must not rush to compete with pedestrians and bicycles;

5. Turn off the engine and do not restart. In heavy rain or rainstorm weather, some road sections will be seriously flooded in a short period of time. If you have to wade through water, you should use a low gear to pass at a constant speed. If the vehicle stalls while driving, do not try to start it again. Blindly starting it may cause the engine to be scrapped. After the vehicle stalls, you should contact a professional repair shop in time. The maintenance personnel will inspect the vehicle on site and confirm that there are no problems before it can be started again.

To sum up, when driving on icy and snowy roads, the maximum speed of a motor vehicle cannot exceed 30 kilometers per hour. On icy and snowy roads, you should always walk in a straight line, do not change lanes carelessly and frequently, and step on the accelerator when driving on icy surfaces. Be gentle, maintain a constant speed, and never step on the accelerator to accelerate hard.
