Many motorists never tire of saying: "Winter and summer come unexpectedly." In fact, this is not the case. Everything in nature is natural. Nevertheless, many drivers make their driving extreme, riding on bald winter tires on ice or summer tires in winter. Hope for "maybe" can turn against us! Think about what you are drawing not only with your life, but also with the life of passengers, as well as other road users!

Emergency driving

Unfortunately, this driving course is not included in the basic services provided by modern driving schools and auto courses. To maintain your life in extreme weather conditions, you need to know and remember a number of rules:

• your car must be technically prepared for driving in severe frost and snow;
• you must know and master the principles of combined braking;
• attention and speed of your reaction should be on top.

Winter  weather in Krasnodar and in many other cities of Russia is known for its icy roads, which will help to cope with the correct preparation of the vehicle for winter operation. The list of works includes replacing rubber, changing lubricants and checking the health of all units and mechanisms. It is more expedient to carry out these works in a car service, whose qualified workers will be able to accurately identify problems and eliminate them.

Combined braking - braking by increasing the force and duration of braking impulses with a constant supply of fuel. You can learn how to use combination braking in extreme driving courses, which can be found in almost every city.

If your vehicle is driving on an icy road, use extreme caution, especially on uphill or downhill sections. In addition, you need to remember about the speed limit. So, it is recommended to carry out a long descent on an icy surface at 3 or 2 speeds. Descending on a muffled engine can lead to an emergency, the car simply becomes uncontrollable. Avoid sudden vehicle movements, overtaking and speeding on ice. Perform all changes on the road smoothly, distributing the load on all tires of the car.

Ice skid

An unpleasant situation that almost every driver knows about. Violations of the rules of braking in icy conditions lead to the fact that the car loses stability and skidding. Well, if there are no other cars on the road at this time, you can get off with a fright, but otherwise the situation can become more dangerous and tragic.

As soon as you feel that your car is skidding, follow these steps:

• release the gas and turn the steering wheel half a turn towards the skid;
• reduce the fuel supply;
• reduce torque.

As soon as the vehicle starts to slow down, return the steering wheel to the direction of travel.

It should be remembered that when skidding when cornering, the engine speed should be sharply increased, and the vehicle position should be adjusted using the steering wheel and the gas pedal. After you have taken the car out of a skid, gradually increase the gas.

Another nuisance that motorists face is the poor performance of the braking system. If, while driving, you notice that the brake pads are not doing their job well, take a simple maneuver - slowing down with your left foot, add gas. To improve braking efficiency, such techniques as multi-impulse braking, clutch delay and heel rebound, which you can also master in extreme driving school, will also help.

Problems with starting the engine

Fierce winter  weather in Tyumen  or often becomes the reason for the inability to start the car engine, which can be avoided by following simple rules:

• evaluate the performance of the batteries;
• change the oil according to the season;
• check the condition of the spark plugs and oil filter;
• check the integrity of the wiring and distributor;
• do not allow water to enter the gas tank and wiring.

You can start the engine in severe frost "from the pusher". Ask your garage co-op neighbors or friends for help.

Keep track of the weather forecast and the technical condition of your car. If you find yourself in an extreme situation on the road, keep calm and composure!
