Driving according to the weather

Driving lesson in Beaumont

Driving in the rain or in stormy weather

During rain or heavy rain, in order to limit aquaplaning and circulate safely, we recommend that you:

• Lift the foot of the accelerator

• Check the condition and pressure of your tires often

• Respect the safety distances

• Stick to speed signs

• Anticipate braking

Tiregom reminds you of the speed limits on the wet road, namely, 80 km / h on the road, 100 km / h on the express road and 110 km / h on the motorway.

Driving on snow and ice road

  On icy ground or snowy road, specific driving is required! In extreme conditions, adopt a cast pipe. Just follow a few rules to ride safely.

• Avoid accelerations to control your vehicle

• Do not brake hard to avoid skidding

• Reduce your cruising speed

Driving in foggy weather

 The visibility is low in case of thick fog, it is advisable to:

• Turn on your fog and crossover lights

• Do not double to avoid a collision

• Roll slowly to anticipate

• Keep your safety distances to respond to an emergency

Driving in strong wind

Caution is in order! A side breeze destabilizes your car and you have to face various obstacles. Tiregom suggests you to:

• Pay attention to pedestrians and tree branches on the low side

• Close the windows to prevent the wind from blowing

• Check that all your luggage or objects are securely stowed on your gallery

• Slow down so you can stop quickly

Driving by high heat and heat wave

 Most of the recent fleet has air conditioning. It must be cleaned by a garage and properly adjust. To avoid a thermal shock, here are some tips:

• Keep a maximum temperature difference of 10 degrees with that of the outside

• Moisturize yourself and all occupants including animals by drinking water

• Use misting machines to wet a baby's face or the head of an animal (for example, Tiregom hates being too hot in the summer)

• Do not park in the sun for too long with a child or animal inside your car

• Install side sunshades for small children

Of course, if you notice alarming symptoms concerning your child or your pet, consult a doctor

Drive safely on all terrains

Highway driving

 Driving on the highway must be done in the rules of the art! Here are several points to observe:

• Comply with speed limits

• Only park on the emergency stop strip in the event of a breakdown

• Report your intention to double or change lanes

• A vest and a warning triangle are required

• During long monotonous journeys, fatigue sets in and a break every two hours is essential.

• Stay alert as to the behavior of motorists

• Control your vehicle by avoiding a sudden change of direction

• Respect the minimum speed of 50 km / h

Driving on muddy roads

To prevent getting bogged down and skating, we suggest you to:

• Observe the condition of the road and the layer of earth

• Easily deduce if you continue the journey agAainst the wheel tracks of other vehicles

Mountain driving

 Faced with the altitude and many turns, this driving requires great attention, here are our tips:

• Have your braking system checked

• Drive with caution and slow down when cornering

• Horn if you lack visibility

• Remember to bring your tools in case of breakdown

• Plan some food and water

• Watch the condition of your spare tire before leaving

• Listen to weather forecasts to choose the best route

• Do not double in a slope

• Do not cut through ravines

Driving on other grounds

In the forest, stay alert, both day and night, as to the passage of animals including deer and wild boar. On a dirt road, pay attention to pebbles, responsible for punctures. Remember that it is not equipped for vehicular traffic.

Adopt safe driving daily

Driving at night

 It differs completely from daytime driving. We are often dazzled by the low beam or headlights of other vehicles. Here are some details:

• Try not to look at the headlights of other cars but fix the road

• Reduce your speed

• Change the position of your interior mirror. There is a night position.

Tires: look at the wear rate and check their pressure

For perfect grip, do not ride with under-inflated tires. You must follow the recommendations of tire manufacturers or manufacturers. Those that are recommended vary depending on your load at the back. Then increase the pressure of the tires in the same place. Depending on their wear rate you can swap your wheels. During a puncture, simply loosen the wheel, use your jack to replace it with your spare wheel. This must be checked regularly.

 Drunk Driving

For your safety and that of your passengers, use a breathalyzer when leaving a restaurant (if you have drunk, of course). He will inform you about your alcohol level and during a control by the gendarmerie, you will not be in violation. Thus, you will not be penalized with a fine and will not lose points on your driving license. During club trips, evening captains can take you away. Sam is the one who does not drink!

The maximum blood alcohol level allowed is 0.5 grams per liter of blood. The blood alcohol level for a young driver is 0.2 g / l, which means that you should not drink a single drink

Drugs while driving

Also watch out for drugs that can cause drowsiness and decreased reflexes.

Driving behavior

In traffic jams, it is better to extinguish the engine in order to consume less fuel and to avoid the release of particles to the environment. Try to control yourself by avoiding unwanted honking, incivility and aggression at the wheel (we know, it's not always easy).

Steering wheel phone

For your safety, it is forbidden to phone, drink or eat while driving (but you already know that). The Bluetooth hands-free kit is allowed, but headphones and ear buds are prohibited by law. The fine phone behind the wheel is 135 € and causes a withdrawal of 3 points on the driver's license. SMS are not allowed. We keep both hands on the wheel!

If you have a teenager at home, know that he can do driving accompanied. Like you, he must respect all speed limits as well as the Highway Code.

Conclusion

Now that you know all about Tiregom's safety tips, the best you can want is to pay attention to yourself, your loved ones and other road users. To do this, check all levels and equipment of your vehicle. Beware also of all users on motorbikes, by bike to other means of transport. Finally, if you are worn out, go to the tire comparator to buy new ones!
