As for the tires, it is up to the driver to decide whether to use studded tires or not, depending on whether? In what conditions the car will be used, the main thing is not to ride summer tires in winter. Summer tires at low temperatures become "oak" and cannot provide a safe ride. Now let's move on to the features of driving a car in winter. The main rule to remember is to drive smoothly on ice and snowy roads. This also applies to pedaling and steering, and to operating the gearbox. Do not accelerate, try to keep the gas to a minimum. On a slippery road, you will not need a reserve of traction; with a sharp addition of revolutions, the wheels will only be in vain to grind the slippery surface, besides, the car will become less responsive to the steering wheel. It's better to get under way in second gear, by the way, that's why most automatic transmissions work the same way when winter mode is turned on. To facilitate starting off on a slippery surface, you can use the method often used by rally athletes, namely, get under way with the parking brake tightened, gradually releasing it, Now about such an important element as braking. Use engine braking whenever possible. When using the brake, remember that the car will slow down much worse than in the summer. After leaving the garage, try to brake several times to understand the behavior of the car on the given road and adapt to it. If the car is not equipped with ABS, then learn to simulate it by applying intermittent braking, alternately pressing and releasing the brake pedal, without allowing the wheels to lock. When cornering, try to reduce the speed in advance, switch to a lower gear, so that moving in an arc, you do not have to press the brake, because this can cause a skid. You still need to be ready for a skid, and if it happens to be able to cope with it. Learn the rules for car icing. If there is a skid, then you need to immediately, and, moreover, sharply turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid that has arisen, then, without waiting for the reaction of the machine, turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction, aligning the wheels. Unfortunately, there will be little theoretical knowledge here, and without training on some safe section of the road, the skill of getting a car out of a skid cannot be learned. If the car spins on the road, then experienced racers recommend immediately without hesitation to press the clutch and brake "to the floor". This will help to stop the rotation and not shut off the engine, which in turn will allow you to quickly move out of the oncoming lane if you are driven into it. Remember to handle the gas pedal with care too. Removing the throttle suddenly, even on a level road, can cause the vehicle to spin. Очень важно научиться прогнозировать развитие событий на дороге, и «играть на опережение». Нужно просчитывать ситуацию на несколько ходов вперед, и постоянно знать какое на данный момент сцепление у колес с дорогой. Безопасного Вам вождения! 04.12.2014 Мы рады помочь каждому!!!
