Leaving a snowy parking lot or driving up a steep street is easier than you think. thinks expert “Behind the wheel” Sergey Kanunnikov.
The general principle is to keep a constant low grip on the wheels and not to turn the steering wheel unnecessarily, especially at large angles. Do not forget about the elementary exercise “building up”. If the stuck car started, but immediately stalled and got up again, there is no point in accelerating. Better to back off a bit and try again. Ideally if you have the time to shift from reverse to first gear as quickly as possible, without letting the car dig in.
Expert advises don’t hit the gas hard when you feel the car has finally gone. Much more effective if you have a mechanic, switch to second gear – the slip of the drive wheels will decrease.
