the Winter is really upon us.
And the cold and snow unfortunately means not only fun on the toboggan run and a fire in the fireplace. It also means gooey slush, ice and slippery roads.
And so it goes according to DMI’s long-term prognosis.
– I think, we get snow several times, and we can count on it being overall cold weather, said meteorologist Martin Lindberg Wednesday to Ekstra Bladet.
This is also laid up for a busy period for the various service companies when undløbende cars to be fished up by its ditches.
There are, however, fortunately, the advice for how you avoid to end in the discount in lieu of at your workplace.
– When it is smooth will be the stopping distance significantly extended. It can be up to four times. And it is an insidious weather for the time being, you can drive to a place where it is knastørt, but then you get into a wooded area, where there might have been wet all day, and even though it maybe is just above freezing, so it may well be iced, says Søren Holten Jacobsen, who is chief instructor at FDM Sjællandsringen.
The most important thing is to run according to the situation – which, incidentally, also according to the road traffic law is committed to.
– It also means that if it is smooth, and there is poor visibility because it’s snowing, so it’s extra far down in the hurry, he says.

Progressing the car out in a turn, you must respond according to how the car behaves.
– Advancing the car over the front wheels, because you get turned, more than what their grip can carry, then you should manage a little less, such that the tires again gain traction, explains Søren Holten Jacobsen and adds:
– It is a difficult exercise purely human, if one goes and is about to run into the ditch, then turn away, and if it does not help, turn even more. But it most often is needed, is that one is a little smaller, so you again get traction. It is difficult, and something that requires a little practice.
Progressing the car in contrast with the rear end you need to turn the steering wheel so that the tires are pointing in the direction you would like.
– If you are running in a venstrekurve, but it loses the rear end, such that the rear end sliding to the right, so you must turn the steering wheel to the right, that the wheels are pointing in the direction you want to, say glatføreeksperten.
Typically progresses-certified cars the most on the front wheels, while the rear wheel drive cars mainly sliding with the rear end.
– What if you block the brakes?
– It is actually not as big of a disaster, as it has been previously. This is because the ABS makes the wheels not blocked, such that to put the fly down without having to take further out. It can be of great importance for the consequences, if you still end up in the ditch, says Søren Holten Jacobsen.
With the time there arrived more and more electronics such as ABS brakes, antispin systems and so on. The systems helps the cars stay on the roads.
– It is easier to control the car. And the tires have also been better. But there is still the human factor, and that is why it is so important that we are running after the facts, says Søren Holten Jacobsen.
– basically, it is essential that you drive slow in the turns, so you can avoid most likely to come out in a stupid situation, and it is the very best. It is really difficult to assess the sharpness, smoothness and so on, before you come to a turn, so it is important that the to slow down. You must run conservatively into the bend, and as you can see, it goes fine, you can slow up a bit.

How do you make the car winterize
Before you set out on the snowy, slippery roads, there is a basic package of equipment, you should have acquired, explains the head instructor at FDM Sjællandsringen, Søren Holten Jacobsen.
Basisudstyret should as a minimum be:
VinterdækEn sneskovlIsskraberMobiltelefon and charger for bilenVarmt clothes, if you come to sit long and wait in a snedriveAbonnement to vejhjælpSprinklervæske, there is frostsikkertSikkerhedsveste, so other drivers can see you while you dig the car free of snedriven
are you Running skiing in either the Alps or the scandinavian mountains, you should also have snow chains with.
to the south, are inches (absolutely crucial. And you must like to have tried to put them on, before running away from home, for you stand only half way up the hill to St. Anton, where it is drifting and is cold, so is it his case to get inches (in. It is a good idea to have tried it in advance, and then also put them on before driving up the hill for example on a car park, where there is a good place to do it, says Søren Holten Jacobsen.
And remember, moreover, that there is a difference between whether it goes uphill or downhill. We danes are not so used to that it goes up and down, so therefore, there are many who are cheated, when they drive to the Alps or up to Sweden and Norway. When you are running downhill, it’s harder to get slowed down the car. Therefore, you have to run even slower when you are running down the hill, and especially in connection with the turns.
