Rain is pouring over Moscow for a second day, and the wet weather is turning roads into tricky terrain for drivers. By evening, a drop in temperature is forecast, which will likely create a thin icy crust across the surface. In these conditions, motorists must stay deliberate and cautious, allowing more space between vehicles and preparing for unexpected moves from surrounding traffic.
Automotive expert Aleksey Khresin recommends keeping a generous following distance and thinking ahead for others on the road. If it’s not you who makes a mistake, someone else could pay for it. Drivers should accelerate smoothly, brake progressively, and avoid sudden steering inputs to minimize skidding or loss of control.
Preparation ahead of winter weather is key. A practical step is to shield the car from frost with a simple cover, cloth, or cardboard placed over the windscreen and body. This extra protection reduces frost buildup and helps the engine reach operating temperature faster, ultimately saving time and reducing the risk of heat-related issues on the coldest mornings.
