Car Safety Tips: Driving your car in frigid conditions can be a difficult task and challenging at the same time. In a country like India, where the weather becomes unpredictable sometimes. Recently an unseasonal heavy snowfall was reported in Himachal Pradesh which resulted in around 500 vehicles being stuck between the Atal tunnel in Rohtang and Dhundi due to slippery terrains.
Drivers can face difficulties in driving their cars in such cases. Even for experienced drivers, instances like these sound scary. If you want to avoid such things from happening to you, check out the top 5 ways to drive safely in heavy rainfall below.
Be Attentive While Driving Your Car
It is very important to stay attentive while driving in all cases, but it becomes crucial in the heavy snowfall of frigid conditions. Practising this way enables you to respond fast and prevent any mishap from taking place with you.
Always keep Windshield and Windows Defrosted
Before going for a drive, a driver should always make sure that the windshield and windows are defrosted well. This practice provides you with better visibility of what’s happening in your surroundings resulting in a safer driving experience in frigid conditions.
Drive with Patience
A driver should always have a sense of patience while driving on slippery terrains in winter. Impatient driving can lead to lethal accidents. So, it is always suggested to drive slow and steady in the frigid conditions.
Don’t Ignore Using Indicators
It is very important to use turn indicators in all weather, but it becomes crucial in heavy snowfall and frigid conditions. Using indicators at the right time while taking turns makes your car visible to other drivers which can prevent major mishaps to happen with you.
Always Keep Headlights on low-beam
A responsible driver should always keep headlights on low-beam. You may think that opting for a high beam is a better option, but it works oppositely. A high beam decreases the visibility by reflecting the fog ahead and makes it very difficult to drive safely for oncoming drivers which can result in collisions and deadly accidents.
