Hello!

Driving on snowy roads requires careful driving. I always keep in mind what I am about to say and try to drive safely.

The most important thing when driving on snowy roads is to always check the road conditions and not push yourself too hard. First, make sure to remove any snow or ice that has accumulated on your vehicle before driving. Ensuring visibility is your top priority. Then, check the tire pressure and whether tire chains are installed, and make sure you are properly equipped.

While driving, I try to drive at a moderate speed and keep a sufficient distance between vehicles. On snowy roads, sudden operations can cause accidents, so I operate the accelerator and brake carefully and avoid sudden acceleration and braking. I also slow down on curves and slopes and drive carefully.

In addition, because tires have less grip on snowy roads, it is easy to slip, especially at intersections and when waiting at traffic lights, so be careful not to slip when starting out. If you do slip, try to stay calm and try to regain stability by not turning the steering wheel too much or stepping on the accelerator.

One thing to be careful of when driving on snowy roads is that it can be difficult to see the snow and frozen areas, so you should always pay attention to the white and slippery parts of the road and avoid reckless driving.

By taking these measures, we aim to ensure that drivers can drive safely on snowy roads.
