You may not have noticed that in winter the number of cars on Russian roads is reduced. This is due not only to the fact that due to Russian frosts it is often impossible to start the car. Many prudent drivers really appreciate their strength and opportunities and prefer to leave the car in the garage, and they themselves travel on public transport. After all, the road situation in the winter is complicated by snow and ice, and drive a car in this situation becomes more difficult and more dangerous.

The very first and most important thing is never getting driving the car's wheel in winter, if you have not changed the summer tires on the winter. The car must be absolutely ready for the road atmosphere. And on summer tires you will be like skiing, the car will become completely uncontrollable, and any braking will end for you in deplorable. Well show yourself in the operation of winter studded tires, as well as special chains worn on the wheels. True, the latter is for very difficult weather conditions, for example, in heavy snowfall or immediately after it. Ride every day on chains is not too useful for the car. But no matter how reliable is your winter tires, you still need to be the most assembled and attentive.

In any road situation, it is important that the wheels continue to rotate. When blocking wheels, it is already unrealistic - the car becomes uncontrollable and remains only to be relied on luck. And then it will rather be to split only the car, and not suffer or cause harm to other people. The most important mistake of newbies, and just unsure drivers - braking on ice. It is highly putting on the brake pedal - it is almost 100 percent blocking of the wheels. It is necessary to slow down gently and in advance. Before turning, slow down the engine, i.e. Reduced speed and foot brake. Even if they are confident in their skills, rubber and car, do not brake sharply. Perhaps the one who rides you, the reaction and skills are worse, and you will substitute the back of your car.

Observe the speed mode! Forget about the speed from which you drive in the summer, even if road signs are allowed to speed up to 60-80 km / h, gear slower. After all, the main thing is what traffic rules are talking about, this is that the speed should correspond to the road situation. The higher your speed, the less time you will have to make a maneuver, which in winter and so will take time more than in the summer. After all, the clutch with the road and the friction force below, and the car can break into an uncontrollable slip. Observe the distance at least double speed. That is, if you move at a speed of 40 km / h, then the distance you must keep from the previous car should be 80 meters.

Brake in difficult road conditions is one of the most important driver skills. You can simply just harm the brake pedal - it will block the wheels. With ice, the engine braking and pulse braking is used, often combining these two ways. Motor braking is nothing but a simple reduction in speed due to the lack of pressure on the gas pedal. And impulse inhibition is divided into two types - stepped and intermittent. Without training, they do not master them, especially this concerns stepped inhibition. With intermittent braking, you need to harm the brake pedal with short movements, let it go and press again. It is necessary to do it clearly and quickly. With a step of braking by pressing the brake pedal, you let it go slowly, not to the end, and with each next pressing increase the pressure.

If you have to overcome slippery climb, switch the "automatic" or "mechanics" to reduced transmission, your speed will be less, but the car will move more powerful. Moreover, you must switch the transmission in advance, and not at the most ascent so that the machine moves exactly, without sharp movements and at one constant speed. If you still failed to overcome the rise, then turn the steering wheel to the right, putting the wheels at an angle, it is desirable that the car goes to the curb and stopped. So you can calm down and go down without incident. Do not repeat the assault, better locate the path.
As you already understood, driving on snowy roads is not easy and, in fact, is extreme. However, since most of Russia lives in the conditions of extreme winter, it is impossible to completely abandon personal transport at this time. Therefore, it is advisable to undergo training in a driving school in the courses of extreme driving in the winter. This will teach you the main techniques, give confidence at the wheel and the ability to better appreciate the road situation.
