What should you pay attention to when encountering large vehicles?

When encountering large vehicles on the road, you should pay attention to these four points: do not drive side by side with large trucks, do not rush to pass large vehicles when they turn in blind spots, try to avoid driving behind large vehicles, and respond promptly if you are tailgated by a large vehicle. Change lane.

1. Do not drive side by side with large trucks

When vehicles are driving on the road and encounter large vehicles such as dump trucks and large trucks, they must first give way. When road conditions permit, drivers must not drive side by side with such vehicles. Otherwise, if the large truck rolls over or the goods on the vehicle are poured down, the vehicle will be easily affected.

2. Don’t rush for large vehicles if they have large turning blind spots

Compared with small cars, large vehicles have a large blind spot when driving due to their “tallness”. During turning, the driver's blind spot will further increase, leading to frequent accidents in which large trucks run over pedestrians at intersections.

Many similar accidents have occurred in Nanjing. Therefore, when a driver encounters a large vehicle turning, he should give way as much as possible and keep a safe distance from the vehicle, and must not rush to the right of the vehicle.

3. Try to avoid driving behind large vehicles

Many drivers believe that as long as they do not drive parallel to large vehicles or compete with large vehicles, there will be no safety risks, but this is not true. During driving, if there is a large vehicle in front, not only the forward view will be blocked, but also once the driver of the large vehicle in front brakes suddenly, the driver behind the vehicle often has a short reaction time and is prone to a rear-end collision.

Since many large vehicles are not equipped with standard anti-collision panels, in the event of a rear-end collision, the small vehicle can easily get under the large vehicle and be crushed. In this way, the chance of the air bag popping up is very small, and the possibility of survival is very small. The risk is very small and will inevitably cause heavy losses to people and vehicles. In addition, the most common problem is that vehicles run red lights due to blocked vision. Therefore, if you encounter a large vehicle in front of you while driving, you must keep your distance.

4. Change lanes in time when being followed by a large vehicle

It is worth mentioning that if you are caught between two large vehicles, once the large vehicle in front brakes suddenly, the large vehicle behind will The car cannot brake due to inertia, and the car caught in the middle is very likely to be directly squeezed into a discus. The braking of a large vehicle is not as easy as that of a small vehicle. Especially when you notice a truck behind you honking its horn or flashing its lights, you must quickly change lanes and stay away from the truck. At this time, it is very likely that the truck will not be able to brake.

In addition, when driving in front of a large truck, do not change lanes quickly without warning, but use the turn signal to give a signal to the truck behind. Because the inertia of trucks is difficult to control, it is extremely easy to be in danger if the driver fails to react.

Kunming now has red warning tapes on right-turn blind spots

Recently, Kunming traffic police have successively drawn warning strips at qualified intersections in the main urban area of ??Kunming. area.

The red "right turn blind spot warning tape" is used to remind passing non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians passing through this area to avoid vehicles, especially large vehicles, when turning right. Stay in this area; at the same time, the vehicle is reminded to control the turning radius of the vehicle so that the "inner wheel difference" does not exceed this area when turning.
