Drivers should pay attention to the technical condition of the car, especially the brake system, the condition of the wheels and their suitability for the season. Start moving slowly at low speed before setting off. Drive at a safe speed near schools, on bridges, at intersections, and on street bends. While driving, it is necessary to keep the distance between vehicles further than usual. When sliding, do not move abruptly so that you and those around you do not suffer. Also, limit your travel by car as much as possible.
