The Vitebsk region is experiencing deteriorating weather conditions.
In adverse weather conditions, it is particularly important to consider driving nuances that will make vehicle control safer.
Start and end movement smoothly. Abrupt acceleration or braking can lead to loss of vehicle control.
Avoid sudden manoeuvres. Do not forget to use turn signals.
Be attentive on the road. Especially when entering bridges and overpasses – in places where black ice is most often encountered.
Increase the distance.
Do not start overtaking in conditions of poor visibility. In bad weather, it is more difficult to estimate the distance to the vehicle ahead, and the acceleration dynamics of a car with possible skidding are also unpredictable.
If the markings are not visible – follow the signs.
When accelerating and braking, keep the wheels straight – this reduces the risk of losing grip with the road.
Postpone your trips if possible. Be extremely careful on the roads!
