The safe use of anti-skid chain skills in wind, rain, snow and fog

A, ice and snow driving skills
(a) the preparation before driving in ice and snow areas, you must carry anti-skid chains, triangle wood, rope, shovels, and other anti-skid items and the necessary cold supplies, and pay attention to the engine freeze.
When possible, you can replace the anti-skid tires or install anti-skid chains, and also use anti-skid chain wire around the wheels to do short-distance driving. 
Install anti-skid chains on the driving wheels, left and right to be symmetrical, loose, and tight to be moderate, through the ice and snow sections, to immediately remove, so as not to damage the road and tires.
(B) driving method without anti-skid installed vehicles in the snow start car anti-skid chains, you can use a higher gear than usual, the use of clutch semi-linkage, and light pedal accelerator method to achieve a smooth start.
When it is difficult to start, you can lay hay, slag, sand, and other things under the drive wheels to assist in starting.
In snow driving, for snow-covered roads, sometimes the gully is covered by snow, and the outline of the road tire chains is difficult to discern, driving should be based on the trees on both sides of the road, electric poles, and other references to determine the driving route, with the engine's drag control speed, low speed.
There are ruts in the road, should follow the ruts, the steering wheel can not be sharply backed to prevent the vehicle from sideslip off the road.        Snow overtaking, the meeting should choose a safer lot on the right side of the slow, appropriate to increase the horizontal distance between the two cars and keep a certain distance from the roadside, if necessary, can stop in a wider lot to give way.
Snow trailing driving should maintain a large longitudinal distance with the car in front, generally 1.5 to 3 times the normal road conditions.
In case of the front car is slowed down, the rear car needs to slow down, can use an intermittent slow brake pedal attached to the parking brake method, do not travel brake a foot to the end, or use the parking brake too fast and too hard. 
When the vehicle skid, should immediately slow, appropriate to the rear wheel skid side turn the steering wheel, and can turn the steering wheel several times in succession, in order to adjust the body.
When the vehicle to curves, ramps and river valleys, and other dangerous areas, to lift the accelerator pedal in advance, smoothly reduce the speed, and properly increase the turning radius, the steering wheel can not hit back hard, to do early or less turn, to prevent the wheels from skidding.
 When you need to stop, you should slow down in advance or switch to a low-speed gear and brake slowly. 
In case of a situation in front, reduce the speed in advance and shift into a lower gear if necessary to control and avoid braking as much as possible.
Note: 1, in the snow for a long time, should wear tinted glasses, to prevent glare and affect driving safety.
2, pneumatic braking vehicles, should prevent the storage cylinder control valve and brake lines in the ice and brake failure.
3, icy mountain roads, must be installed on the anti-skid chain.        After passing through the icy road, should be removed in time to avoid damage to the road and tires.
Driving on the ramp with snow, you should shift into low-speed gear in advance, not accelerate too quickly, and avoid changing gears in the middle.
4、After the snow and ice fall on the dangerous road near the mountain, you should decide whether you can pass according to the thickness of the snow and ice, the size of the ramp, the sharpness of the curve, and the width of the road, etc.
Stop and survey if necessary, and do not blindly risk driving.
5, in the snow and ice road for a long time parking, should choose the appropriate location, you can tire under the pad to board, branches or firewood and other things.
6, the drive wheel for the dual-tire vehicle, if the drive wheel tires are damaged on the way, do not use a single tire to continue the route, to prevent inconsistent adhesion area and cause slippage.
7, in curved roads, ramps and river valleys, and other dangerous areas when driving, should pay more attention to choosing a good driving route.
Road conditions that are slightly suspicious should immediately stop, to look clearly to confirm safety before continuing to drive.
Second, foggy driving skills of a variety of environmental factors, foggy days are the worst weather conditions, and the probability of traffic accidents on foggy days is several times higher than usual, or even dozens of times.
Due to dense fog caused by dozens of vehicles in succession, rear-end accidents are common, with heavy losses.
Therefore, ensuring the safety of driving in fog is particularly important.
(A) the impact of driving in fog on vision fog just occurred, the concentration gradually increased unknowingly, although the vision can gradually adapt, visibility is a grad.
