253. Nieve
La nieve puede hacer que la carretera sea resbaladiza, reducir la visibilidad y aumentar considerablemente la distancia de frenado. El conductor debe reducir la velocidad, aumentar la distancia de seguimiento y acelerar, girar y frenar suavemente para evitar perder el control. Antes de iniciar la marcha debe retirarse la nieve o el hielo de ventanas, espejos y luces, y según el país y las condiciones pueden ser necesarios neumáticos adecuados u otros equipos de invierno.
How does snow affect driving?
Snow can reduce tyre grip, visibility and vehicle control and increase the distance needed to slow down or stop.
How should you drive on snow?
Drive more slowly, increase your following distance and use smooth acceleration, steering and braking. Sudden movements can cause the tyres to lose grip.
Should snow be removed from a vehicle before driving?
Yes. Remove snow and ice that obstruct the windscreen, windows, mirrors and lights. Snow should also be removed where it could fall from the vehicle and create a hazard for other road users.
Are winter tyres required when it snows?
This depends on the country. Some countries require winter tyres during certain periods or winter conditions, while others only recommend them.
When are snow chains used?
Snow chains can provide additional grip on roads covered with snow or ice. Rules for their use vary between countries, and some roads may require them when indicated by a traffic sign.
Should you use fog lights during snowfall?
Fog-light rules vary by country. They are generally intended for conditions where snow, fog or other weather significantly reduces visibility, so drivers should follow the applicable local rules.
