Sliding your vehicle causes a lot of accidents and problems. Also, from the usual scenes with a very low temperature, an ice crust forms on the car glass and on the wheels, which prevents natural friction with the road floor, and this increases landslides, causing various traffic accidents, resulting in material and human losses.
