The traffic police will quickly arrange an accident in the cold

The traffic police units of the Moscow Region in connection with the established frosts in Moscow and the Moscow Region are focused on the fastest design of traffic accidents and assistance to drivers who have a breakdown of the car on the road, RIA Novosti reports, citing a state traffic inspectorate near Moscow.

"For many drivers, preparations for winter are limited to a change in rubber, and in vain - trips in the cold present more surprises than poor adhesion to the road. You should check the condition of the engine in advance ..., make diagnostics of electrical appliances," the message said.

The traffic inspectorate near Moscow calls to pay attention to rubber hoses: there are there cracks. To make sure that the battery will be able to cope with severe cold. On a slippery road, it is especially important that problems with the reliability of the brakes do not arise. If necessary, you need to replace the brake pads.

“Remember that it is the difference in the brake moments of the wheels that is the main cause of the skid. When operating the car in winter, you need to leave the habit of tightening the manual brake when stopping or parking,” the department concluded.

The Center for Disaster Medicine of the Moscow Region advises not to get frostbite, always take a thermos with hot tea or water on the road.

“You should purchase a lifeguard blanket and warm shoes in advance, which, along with the wires for“ lighting ”, will be in the trunk, and do not forget about matches. There have been cases when help had to wait more than one hour, and it was the presence of matches and spots that helped drivers not to freeze and wait for long -awaited assistance,” recalled the center.
