Weather and climatic conditions have a decisive influence on the choice of driving technique. Especially in the winter season, when the carriageway is covered with ice, and the sides are hidden under snowdrifts. Driving safely in these conditions requires the driver to have real mastery of the machine.

patience and endurance
Instructions
Step 1
In most cases, road accidents during the winter season are caused by slippery roads. When the coefficient of adhesion of the tires to the roadway is significantly reduced. When driving in ice-covered areas, forget that you have a brake pedal in the cabin and do not rely on ABS in vain. At the most inopportune moment, the anti-skid system can play a cruel joke with the driver.
Step 2
If, while driving, you see that the road ahead bends, and a maneuver is awaiting you, then release the gas in advance and gradually go to lower gearshift stages, thus slowing down the speed of the car.
Step 3
When maneuvering, avoid sharp turns of the steering wheel and changes in engine speed. Only maintain the torque with the accelerator pedal. Careless actions at this stage of movement can provoke a side skid, and the car will end up in a snowdrift.
Step 4
In those cases when it was not possible to avoid failure, there is definitely no need to rush anywhere. Do not "tear" the car from its place and do not "burn" the rubber in vain. And calmly, with a "cool head", assess the current situation. It is advisable to leave the salon and walk around the car to find out what further actions need to be taken.
Step 5
The task of leaving the snowdrift is much easier if the car entered the snow along a straight trajectory, and it did not turn around there. Then turn off the engine, turn on reverse, release the clutch and try, turning the engine flywheel with the starter, to slowly get out of the snow "trap". If at this moment the car starts, then you should not put pressure on the gas and increase the engine speed, continue driving in reverse gear in trolling mode.
Step 6
In those cases when the motorist managed to properly get bogged down in a snowdrift, then it is impossible to do without clearing the escape route from the snow drift with a shovel.
