What should I pay attention to when driving a truck?

As many friends know, whether it is an expressway or an expressway, you should keep a distance from the car in front. Keeping a certain distance can make driving safer. However, when encountering a large truck, it is not just as simple as keeping a safe distance, because once it collides with a large truck, the injury is more serious and may be fatal. Let's learn how to deal with it.

1, not on either side of the big truck.

The reason is very simple, because no matter what car will have a blind spot, and the blind spot of big trucks is much bigger than that of ordinary cars. On some high-speed or multi-lane highways, cars often run parallel, which is very dangerous to run parallel with large trucks. Because big trucks are tall, it is easy to ignore the cars on both sides, especially the cars on the right, which can be said to be more dangerous. Many large trucks collided with cars because they didn't see the car on the right. If the big truck is empty, if it is full, then you and your car will not suffer an order of magnitude of weight and damage. The correct way is to speed up quickly, not in parallel with big trucks.

2. Don't follow the big truck.

First of all, at high speed, the speed ratio is faster. In order to ensure driving safety, it is necessary to keep a distance of 50 to 100 meters. How about a big truck in front? Then you may have to pull away a little. If you are too close to the truck, the truck driver will not see you because of the blind spot, so it is impossible to predict what the car will look like. At this time, the truck suddenly braked, and you would have no time to brake ahead of time and directly hit the truck. The body of a large truck is relatively high, and the roof of a general car is not much higher than the chassis of a large truck. In this case, your car is like being stopped by a big truck and stuck under the chassis of the big truck. This is a very serious traffic accident. Do it correctly, quickly change lanes and overtake, and stay away from big trucks.

Don't drive too close to the big truck.

Because the large trucks have relatively large mass and strong inertia, the braking distance needs to be longer. If you are close to a big truck, when you brake suddenly, the big truck will also brake suddenly, but it will still hit because the braking distance is not enough. I believe everyone can imagine how serious the consequences will be if you are hit by a big truck many times larger than your own car.

4. Don't compete with big trucks.

Large trucks are large in size and long in body, so the time required for cornering is relatively short, and the radius of cornering will be much larger. At this time, don't rush for success. A large truck may suddenly slam the steering wheel because of your rush, resulting in unstable center of gravity and rollover. Running over a nearby car is also disastrous. So when the big truck turns the corner, you can avoid it and wait patiently.

Conclusion: In fact, the reason why large trucks are haunted is that the drivers of large trucks have repeatedly violated the rules, and their own risk factors are also relatively high. Who doesn't want to drive safely? Therefore, whether it is a big truck or a car, we must abide by the traffic rules and try to stay away from the big truck. There is no need to look at it differently.
