If we have to start our vehicle with snow on the road, which gear should we use?
A)With a high gear.Correct
B)With a low gear.
C)Always with first gear.
When driving on ice or snow we run the risk of the vehicle skidding. If we use a low gear ratio, it will have too much power and the wheels will only skid on the ice or snow. On the other hand, if we use a high gear ratio, the wheels will not skid as much because they will not have too much power.
To start the vehicle on snow we will use second or third gear to prevent the wheels from skidding. When driving we will try to use the highest gear possible, driving very smoothly.
Remember that in such situations the braking distance increases considerably, so we must drive carefully and adapt the safety distance accordingly.
