subject: Tips to driving on icey Condition [print this page] When driving in Icey conditions there is an increased risk that your vehicle into a skid. This is obvious. However, the mere fact that most of the cars drag the result of pilot error or rather poor and inefficient, and not driving in bad weather.
Drive so that the grip is to the limit by driving at inappropriate speeds or steering, braking, acceleration and hard, you run the risk of skidding.
To prevent from skidding you should never ask your car to do more of what you can do with available traction. Consequently, in bad weather, you should:
- Reduce your speed.
- Increase your stopping distance, so that the vehicle is terminated unexpectedly before having enough space to stop a brake without skidding.
- Use extreme caution when approaching a curve.
- Be gentle and gradual as the steering, throttle and braking.
His car, are more likely to slip when the road is icy or snowy weather. Under these conditions, to avoid carryover, it is necessary to slow down, right. You should also control and brake very gently. To increasing stopping distance, so that ten times higher than in normal conditions.
When driving in winter, and especially a winter night when the sky is clear, you should look out after the formation of ice on the road. For an early warning sign to see if ice forms on windows of parked cars. You should be careful when traveling in a bee of the street, when exposed to a motorway bridge. The ice is often formed here in the first place. If your car has a temperature sensor on the outside, then keep an eye on them.
care in icy conditions of the move. This can form black ice, which is invisible on the road. Black Ice is not really black, is transparent. Therefore, it is known as a danger to the driver.
In ice conditions can start from your manager to feel lighter. The noise can be significantly reduced. If this happens, it is likely to be on the ice. To avoid dangerous slips gently ease off the accelerator. This allows you to slow your car soft and gentle. If you must drive, then do it slowly, with a higher speed. This helps avoid hard acceleration, which could turn the wheels.
Accelerating too hard can cause delays in implementation. If you accelerate too hard to start in slippery conditions, then the drive wheels, without pushing the car forward. Get In a view of the ice from the wheel-turn inevitable. To try to minimize the spin hire a gear.
Sudden braking on slippery surfaces can also help you manage your car into a skid. The wheels can be locked and still expect the effect, little or no brakes. Parking also precludes management. In this case, you should release the brake pedal to release the wheels, new brakes so hard. If your car has ABS, the wheels do not lock. But do not think the ABS helps all problems when driving on slippery roads. It does not work.
The slippery slope when approaching a curve too fast is a good chance that your vehicle into a skid. This is especially likely if you brake with too much force, taking a corner. Active steering angle, but there is no response, and the car continues. This is a front wheel slippage factor. If this happens, then you take your foot off the accelerator. This raises the vehicle's weights forward and helps the tires get traction. Do not use the brake. How does to find the traction of the tires carefully that fully control the car in the direction of slips. For example, if the rear of the car skid to the left to navigate quickly and smoothly to the left.
Some driving schools have access to skid pan. If you learn to drive and before taking her driving test, then it is also advisable to consult your instructor to help you focus lessons on how to deal with slippage.
