GAI Minsk region has introduced a special plan "Weather" , BelTA learned from the ATC Minoblispolkoma .
Plan "Weather" introduced due to increased snowfall and worsening road conditions - increased number of small accidents. According to the introduction of this plan is organized jointly with the travel services round the clock monitoring of roads for their rapid clearance of snow and ice removal .
According to weather forecasts , in the next day in most parts of the Minsk region snow skyrocket , especially in the southern half . The temperature will fall to 9-11 degrees. Roads remain sleet .
GAI Minsk region recommends that drivers choose a safe speed and can withstand the maximum distance . When planning trips motorists should take into account the current traffic situation , the state of his own vehicle and driving skills in winter conditions. The best solution is to use public transport.
In traffic police drivers gave practical advice for driving on winter roads . So , to start off on slippery roads recommend alignment with the front wheels. Need to press the gas pedal smoothly, without jerks . In this way from a place as slowly as possible is necessary , since in this case the increased friction on the road surface. When slippage should be placed under the vehicle drive wheels rubber mat , cloth , tree branches or pour them under the sand. Safe movement of the vehicle in such circumstances provide low speed , increased distance and lateral spacing.
When driving on a slippery road is recommended to maintain the selected speed constant , working fuel pedal smoothly and gently. Before passing through the intersection should reduce the rate of advance , as in this region particularly slippery road . You must be prepared to stop your vehicle anywhere. When cornering on slippery road skid possible and leaving his car into oncoming traffic . Secure rotation is performed at low speed , with the inclusion of the downshift and smooth rotation of the steering wheel. On slippery inclines can not brake sharply and increase speed, since there is a risk slipping and stop the vehicle . Therefore it is necessary to calculate in advance and choose the optimal speed and gear. On a slippery road to brake sharply with full wheel lock is very dangerous. While the front and rear wheels of the vehicle do not rotate the steering wheel ceases to obey the driver and the car starts to move by inertia in an arbitrary direction . The safest ways to brake in such conditions - intermittent braking on the verge of locking the wheels and engine braking . In the first case, the wheels do not have time to slid on the road surface , and in the second they start to rotate slowly. In these processes, the braking driver maintains control of his vehicle , adjusting the direction of the wheel. Any movement and maneuvers on slippery road surfaces must be performed by the driver without sharp turns of the steering wheel , sharp braking and shifting vehicle with manual transmission. Brake pedals and fuel are pressed gently and smoothly. Driving such a way to preserve its stability , reducing the likelihood of skidding and rollover .
