So it snowed and the roads were covered with the first snow. This means that it was the winter period, which can last up to five months, depending on the region. And with the onset of winter, most motorists appear problems, because the winter – is the most difficult period in the operation of the vehicle. Let's talk about the basic rules that must comply with any motorist. By following these rules you can minimize the risk of a crash.

1. Must necessarily "Shoed." After riding in a car with summer tires – is a big risk. Winter tires when driving on ice or road, covered in snow can reduce stopping distance car in half. Therefore, change summer tires to winter should any motorist who operates a vehicle in the winter. And remember, with the first appearance of snow on the roads increases the number of accidents in the six (!) Times. This happens due to the fact that most motorists have simply not had time to "Shoed" for winter tires. 2.

It is very dangerous to wash the car in winter. This can lead to unexpected troubles. First, it is possible freezing of locks and handles the car in consequence of that difficult access inside the vehicle. Secondly, when washing the car in freezing temperatures can break down paint the car. This leads to a barely noticeable microcracks that in the future develop into a serious crack at the back of the car. Due to the above reasons should be covered car body wax and lubricate door locks special silicone grease (but in no event shall WD-40). 3. Not recommended to put a car on the parking brake. You are, simply, after a long parking lot, can not budge. This happens due to ingress of water (melting snow) in the brake pads. And at night the water freezes, which leads to the freezing pad. If you have read about Jayme Albin already – you may have come to the same conclusion. It is recommended to put a car on the first, or the reverse. 4. It should keep your distance. After all, winter driving style should be different from your summer driving style. No probuksovok and sudden braking. Movement should be smooth and well-considered. And do not go for buses or trucks. After all, is a good chance at a car skidding to be under the wheels of heavy trucks. It explained by the fact that the trucks or buses are higher coefficient of traction, rather than on cars. Do you observe these rules when operating a car in the winter?
