dirt bike mud tires
Ever been stuck in the snow? Let me show you how to avoid this problem.
Winter is coming and if you are a driver who lived in the northern hemisphere, you know that you are stuck in the snow a few times. What can you do?
Okay, so you can take the bus. Or you can call a tow truck before leaving the house, pull your car out of snow banks that can lead to work.
Will it work? Yes, but this is not what we mean here. We discuss a simple solution to the problem of leaving a snow bank with your car, drive yourself.
Perhaps the sound more common in winter mornings is the hiss of tires on car drivers in the race engines they are trying to get out of the snow. Does it work? Everyone knows that it does not. Let's see what happens when you do.
Most of the time the driver gets into the car of his (her), start the engine and put the shift lever in D (drive). Knowing that it will be difficult to leave, he (she) is accelerating, the wheels and the car is not moving. At that time, my friend, you're stuck and you need a trailer or two people to push his car.
You see, when you race your engine and the wheels turn, melt the snow that freezes immediately after to form a thin layer of ice under your tires. The wheels will spin more freely and the car is not moving.
Some drivers believe that turning the wheel long enough melting snow tires and click on the sidewalk. But this is false. That will not happen. The car will be locked.
This will happen even if you have tires snow or chains. Heck, it will happen even if you drive a four wheel drive vehicle. The race of your engine when it is in a snow bank and I guarantee you will not move. Its four wheels turn and the car sits there.
How, then, can drive your car? When you're stuck, you're stuck and there's not much you can do, Right? Wrong.
In reality, what we need is the exact opposite of what you normally do. Instead of competing with the engine, be nice to her. Here how to:
– When starting the engine, put the shifter in L (low speed). Thus, the transmission does not move during the attempt to quit.
– Release the brake and speed NO. You will notice that the car will try to move.
– Little by little, very gently touch the accelerator pedal. Slowly. Your vehicle begins to move without spinning the wheels.
– No speed yet. Wait until your car is where a track in the street, then drive normally.
Believe me, it works even if you're stuck. You may have to go back and forth a few inches at a time to free his car from the snowbank, but will work if you avoids the need to be stepped up. Do not race your engine, go easy on his right foot and you never have this problem again, just any type of car or truck you drive. I even used my old truck and it works very well, even if the truck has a very harsh light on the drive wheels.
This technique who also works in simple mud. Try it and you can not turn the wheel back in the snow or mud.
