Driving in winter - to create a safe!

Winter driving conditions are fraught with many unpredictable situations and tricky even for experienced drivers. On slippery roads the car's handling changed dramatically, and degree of safety begins to be more influenced by the skill of the driver. The dependence of the controllability of the specifications of the cars is minimal. Unfortunately, as statistics show that most drivers are not prepared to take emergency decisions and carry out intensive activities in the critical situation on the winter road. This is due to lack of primary theoretical and practical training antiavariynogo driving in winter conditions, without which drivers feel powerless. Change the situation easily enough - it forces anyone who wants to master the techniques of winter driving. Actions of the driver at the wheel should be aimed primarily at predicting and preventing loss of control car, which will lead to disaster. Can not be ruled out at this technical factor - the car must be roadworthy and ready for winter operation. Well, if the constant companion will be "feeling of the car," which does not hurt at all driving conditions. Purchased it not for the hundreds of hours spent behind the wheel, but for its prompt and proper form to comply with the following principles. • Is "Fit" car seat and a good fit in it, provide a sense of dynamics and vector direction of the vehicle. The back should fit snugly to the back seat, his hands - is in the upper sector of the steering wheel, able to easily bend at the elbows. • Get rid of the habit of coasting drive, including the neutral transfer after the crackdown - is fraught with the loss of driveability and a waste of time to activate the transmission of an emergency. • Use a soft inclusion programs, where necessary peregazovku or delay at startup. • Do not hold the steering wheel when cornering, to align the movement of cars. In most cases, on a slippery road that will lead to skidding. • Do not apply heavy braking - in winter conditions are much more effective than intermittent and stepwise. Actively use the engine braking - to teach this technique to perfection. • Do not attempt dorulivat in the arc of rotation or shift gears - this is a provocation leading to the emergence of uncontrolled skidding. • It is necessary to develop the correct response to the bank (and sooner or later he will have a place in the practice of every motorist.) Rear wheel drive car, in case of skidding requires action from the steering wheel. Keeping his hands, made a sharp taxiing towards the perfect introduction, followed by more gradual, but the quick return of wheels in a straight line position. Simultaneously with driving, attenuated impact on the gas pedal. When skidding front wheel drive car, the right response the driver - to give a smooth, but it sure increases the opening of the throttle, the engine "pulled out" a car-wheel drive. In this case the active reaction wheel is not required, but need to apply technology to the taxi as rear wheel drive car. The above tactic is suitable for low-amplitude drift. With deep drift - need an active steering as the front and rear drive. It is made with the interception and dorulivaniem. Exit from skidding on the four wheel drive is similar to the technique of rear wheel drive, but let the gas pedal is fully recommended. • In extreme cases, the loss of control of the car and there is no possibility to avoid the accident, there is only one way out - contact an emergency stop, leaving the code with the trajectory of the car you can try to stop the tangential collision with obstacles while moving. This technique often helps return the vehicle to a safe trajectory. Described only a small fraction of the principles and techniques that increase safety in winter driving. Really in-depth training should be combined with the passage of the practical course of extreme driving lessons with an experienced and avtoinstruktorom. The skills obtained in a thorough driver training, will give confidence in any situation on the road, would exclude the hopelessness of the situation, and when anything is possible and save lives!
