In the city, the price of error is a crumpled wing, on the road - death. This eternal truth in winter takes on special urgency, because to the usual dangers a heap of others is added. And not only associated with a slippery coating.

Tires

But we will begin with it, from the most important deterrent when driving along the highway in winter - a slippery road.

Before the road

To begin with, a list of mandatory things that must be in the car before a long winter road. And also two words about some of the activities that are worth taking with the car:

1. Strong rope or rope.

It is strong, but not the first one in the car dealer Chinese. And it's better to be more authentic or even two "ordinary" ones - when you fly to the ditch, the short one may not be enough.

2. "Cardboard" in front of the radiator.

Very relevant at temperatures below -20 ° C. And it will help not only to ensure the temperature balance of the engine cooling system, when the heat generated may not be enough for the "stove", but also to prevent the crankcase ventilation system from freezing. That is fraught with "spitting out" the oil dipstick and loss of engine oil.

3. Warm things.

On the road, anything can happen, including a breakdown or an accident. If the engine is damaged, it is not known how much it will be necessary to wear out in the cold. In this regard, the following point is relevant:

4. Tourist gas burner with a pair of spare cylinders.

In the most extreme case, it can be lit directly in the cabin. Oxygen it "burns" a little, but the salon more or less warms up.

5. Increased supply of "ice-free".

6. A small supply of non-perishable food and drinking water.
