7 Tips to be guided in winter

In winter it can be a feared opponent when we have to drive. Especially for drivers who have no experience. In these cases we must consider the following aspects when we have to travel a certain distance using the personal vehicle as a means of transport.

1. Weather conditions. First of all, before going behind us, it is important to know what weather conditions they will be on the days when we are left. Although the weather forecasts are not always correct, it is good to have an idea of ​​how our time may surprise us.

2. Month. To be prepared, we must have all the accessories that can help us in difficult situations. The most important thing is that the car is possible in a mechanical state, so as not to have surprises during the walk. A visit to an authorized service can be the best to discover mechanical defects. In addition to the technical inspection, we must also have the following accessories: winter tires, non -slip chains, salt or sand, good wipers, a water with unprocessed solution, a survival kit and a tank at least half.

3. The driver. The driver must be prepared from all points of view. It is better to rest, because the road in winter is twice more tiring. Other accessories needed for the driver are: a pair of closed glass sunglasses, thick boots or boots, as well as thick spare dresses.

4. The road. The surface is the one that causes the greatest damage. There are different types of rotating surfaces, including: asphalt, first snow, loose snow and ri -scaMata, snow with three Ayer and the most dangerous road, «black ice» (fog falling on the asphalt, frozen humidity). In all cases we must pay attention and adapt the speed to the requirements of each road.

5. The driving style. As for the walk in winter, it must be approached very cautiously. First of all, we must not go with speed. Any wrong movement can be fatal. We must also avoid using the phone to focus on the road. We must always have a great distance between us and the car in front of us to prevent an accident and in particular we have to curb the brake of the engine possible. A good advice is that when we remain blocked, we start at a second speed and not with the first. This is a clutch technique that can help us a lot. If the car starts to browse, contrary to all instincts, it is good not to break.

6. The accident. Winter accidents are the most dangerous due to the road that can offer the most unexpected surprises. A great danger is when the car’s engine stops. In this case, the liquids begin to flow and therefore there is the risk of explosion. Another problem is that if we find ourselves in such an accident, there is the danger of freezing the cold. To prevent this that we must be dressed well and have a useful phone, somewhere we can easily reach it to call 112. And an excellent advice is not to venture on roads that are not very circulated. We should usually use bad roads (also with wells), but to be traveled, so if there is an accident that there are people who can help.
