It's not easy for motorists right now: low temperatures, snow and ice make driving significantly more difficult.
Particular difficulties arise due to icy roads.
How to cope with driving on slippery road surfaces? There are several important tips for drivers.
If the road is slippery, the driver needs to be extremely careful and very attentive.
You should temporarily stop listening to music. You need to turn off the radio.
It should be as quiet as possible inside the car. The driver needs to hear surrounding sounds, including horns from other vehicles.
When driving on a slippery road, you must not accelerate or brake abruptly.
It is also worth avoiding sudden changes in direction.
Ice is a reason to keep the engine speed at a moderate level.
If the revs are high, the driver may at some point simply not be able to control the vehicle.
On slippery roads, it is better to slow down without using the braking system.
If you still cannot avoid skidding, you need to stay calm and carefully turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid.
