Auto expert “Behind the wheel” Ilya Pimenov gave simple advice to drivers stuck in deep snow.
For starters, try to “jump” using the car’s momentum. If the car moves back and forth at least a little, when reversing, engage reverse gear, forward – forward. Or R and D respectively, if you have an automatic.
Remember that above all it is easier for the car to drive with “straight” wheels, that is, when the steering wheel is in the zero position. If it doesn’t work, it makes sense to work a little with the steering wheel, turning it left and right at small angles. Maybe the tires will rake a little snow under them at some point and this will be enough to take off.
Well, either you have to take a shovel in handconcludes the expert.
And Ilya Pimenov also recommends using public transport during snowfalls, postponing things for a day with more suitable road conditions or solving urgent problems without driving. This method will certainly save you and your car a lot of trouble.
