Winter driving can be a challenge, as we enter this time of year, when the snow is making her presence, here are some suggestions. The snow is a beautiful thing. The large flakes gently on the ground are a joy to watch. The danger is if the movie is misleading added to a coating on the road. When the snow hits the road to warm, cold (usually the case, from dawn to dusk in winter), snowmelts.
This is not a big problem if the air temperature is well above freezing is warm, but if the air temperature is below zero out! The snow melts on the roads hot and cold, but the temperature of cold air freezes the snow melted, and then create the ice on the road.
Often the ice is not visible, hence the name "Black Ice". If you're on the road and suddenly hit the ice, do not panic. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal andis possible to drive up the coast. If the car starts to turn sideways, turn the wheel towards the rear of the car (this is contrary to the direction of the front is gone). It feels strange, but the machine will help to correct the turn, and straight. Do not slam on your brakes!
Most trainers advise you not to panic when he hit black ice, or driving in a climate of snow. It 'hard! However, note that if you are all anxious, it wascan easily correct the car and is expected to tighten the wheel or hit the brakes. Try to run as normal, but slower and more cautious.
My father stressed that the leadership of snow after the first snow of the year. It would take me to a deserted parking lot, which has not been plowed, and the practice of turning, braking, very slowly, leading to a complete stop. If I am too fast in the snow, the machineto spin, and that I had to correct the turn by turning the wheel. It 'been a good practice, because there are no obstacles or cars of other concerns, and I feel like taking me to drive in the snow, after several months of summer!
Driving on snow is not rocket science. If you slow down in the snow, too. Try to avoid sudden movements. If you believe a slide, you take the foot off the gas and coast until you feel more stable.Leave enough space between you and the car ahead of you. Do not worry!
If you must leave your car are the brakes. In larger cars, you want to pump the brakes lightly. Today, with the emergence of pulses antilock braking system, you can apply the brakes steadily. With a little common sense and experience, you can safely drive in snow.
