Entering winter, cooling down and snowfall are inevitable. Slippery roads on snowy days are something that refrigerated truck owners are afraid of. The transportation of refrigerated truck owners brings great inconvenience. In order to travel safely in the cold winter, several points should be noted.

1. When the bridge deck freezes, drive slowly and try not to park when going uphill.

2. When driving on highways, pay attention to preventing crosswinds and slow down the speed.

3. For motor vehicles that burn diesel, adding No. 10 diesel can easily solidify and cause damage to the fuel injectors.

4. Pay attention to adding car antifreeze in a timely manner.

5. The tires exchange positions with each other. Due to the certain camber angle of the car positioning, the middle of the driving road is high and both sides are low, resulting in significant differences in tire wear and tear. To ensure safety and reduce wear, the tire should be regularly repositioned.

6. Check the tire pressure. In winter, the coefficient of friction on the road surface is low, and the tire pressure should not be too high, but not too low. The external temperature is low, the tires are brittle, the tire pressure is low, and severe soft tires can accelerate aging.

7. Maintain low speed and stability while driving. As the braking distance increases with the increase of vehicle speed, controlling the speed and maintaining a relatively safe distance from the preceding vehicle are the key to driving on ice and snow roads.

8. Maintain a safe distance horizontally. When driving on icy or snowy roads, passing through intersections, turning left and right, meeting vehicles from both sides, and encountering pedestrians and bicycles, one should fully consider others, politely give way, and always maintain a relatively large lateral safety distance. If you fall due to slippery road, please stop and give way, do not rush to drive.

9. For manual transmission models, start slowly and lift the clutch and refuel slowly. If there is wheel slippage when starting, you can shift into a gear one level higher than usual, such as starting in second gear for small cars, third gear for empty trucks, and second gear for heavy vehicles. The clutch is released slower than usual, and the throttle is smaller than usual when starting. When driving an automatic transmission, lock the gear in low gear. If equipped with snow mode function, activate it in a timely manner

10. Do not turn the steering wheel sharply on the road. When you need to turn, please slow down first, increase the turning radius appropriately, and slowly turn the steering wheel. To avoid slipping, grip the steering wheel with both hands evenly and gently.

In addition, after one night, a layer of ice and frost will form on the glass. The trick to de icing is to first start the engine, turn on the warm air, and use a car glass specialized ice and snow shovel to slowly remove the ice from the crevice. If there is no ice and snow shovel, you can also slowly scrape the larger hard plastic bottle cap onto the glass.

It is necessary to remind refrigerated truck owners that the car is covered with ice and snow, and they must first scrape off all the ice and snow, because after the car starts, the remaining snow may form a blind spot for drivers to see when driving, and the flying ice and snow can affect the safety of other drivers. Snowy weather is a significant test for new drivers, and it is recommended that new driver friends avoid driving on snowy days as much as possible. At the same time, we also hope that car owners can take public transportation as much as possible to avoid potential troubles.
