How to deal with large trucks

It is said that big trucks are a "beast" that scares everyone who travels, so that we invented the aphorism that "big goods are fiercer than tigers", and the accidents of big trucks that happen at both ends every three days always sound the alarm for us to stay away from big trucks! But this is a beautiful vision after all. Due to the objective needs of social development, we have to be accompanied by "disasters" every day, which is inevitable and helpless. Today, let's talk about the driving precautions when facing large trucks, and show them to drivers to make daily driving more calm and safer. ? Ignoring and being reckless is the driving habit of many big truck drivers. For other social vehicles, it is followed by invisible pressure and threat when driving. When the fear of passing by is inevitable, what we can do may be to face it calmly. Facing the blind area of large trucks and numerous illegal acts, the correct driving mode can reduce the accident rate and ensure its own driving safety.

1. All kinds of "super" super high+super wide+super long+overload

Driving a truck in our country, you are embarrassed to go on the road if you don't "exceed". On the road, we can often see all kinds of "super" trucks driving leisurely. Although the mentality and work efficiency of bulk cargo drivers are worth learning, we do not advocate this dangerous practice.

Ps: Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China

Article 54 The loading weight of a motor vehicle shall not exceed the weight approved by the motor vehicle driver's license, and the loading length and width shall not exceed the carriage, and the following provisions shall be observed:

(a) heavy and medium-sized trucks and semi-trailers carrying goods shall not exceed 4 meters above the ground, and vehicles carrying containers shall not exceed 4.2 meters;

(two) the height of other motor vehicles carrying goods from the ground shall not exceed 2.5 meters.

Bian Xiao has something to say:

When we encounter a truck that exceeds the vehicle carrying standard, we should give priority to avoiding it first, because we are always at a disadvantage in the face of huge trucks, and ensuring safety is the first priority. When the road conditions permit, you should pay attention to the track of the truck. On the premise of ensuring safety, you should overtake quickly from the left, and never drive side by side with the truck, so that some actions of the big truck will hurt you and cause an accident.

2. Blind area

As we all know, large trucks have many blind spots when driving, and the blind spots of drivers' vision will be further enlarged when turning and merging. It is precisely for this reason that accidents of crushing pedestrians at large-scale cargo intersections often occur, and there are also a few collisions between vehicles caused by blind spots.

Bian Xiao has something to say:

When encountering a big cargo turning, avoid it as much as possible and keep a safe distance from it. Don't try to act in a hurry, the accident can't be solved in a minute or two. The blind spot of a big truck is much bigger than that of a car, so you may not be seen when overtaking. So when overtaking, you must be fast and try to avoid driving behind the truck. When you have to drive behind the truck, you must keep a reasonable distance and slow down, because the tall body can block almost all the views in front of you, and when the truck in front suddenly stops, it takes the truck driver behind you a short time to react, which is very prone to rear-end collision. However, since most trucks are not equipped with standard crash barriers, once a rear-end collision happens, I'm afraid most drivers have the experience that when they pass the intersection with traffic lights, they are blocked by the truck in front, and they simply can't see whether the intersection is red or green, so the drivers behind them feel aggrieved, but they are helpless.

Ps: There is a saying that the driver behind the car will not be punished for running a red light if he can prove that his sight is blocked, but we have not found any relevant content in the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China.

Driving at night

Please raise your hand if you are dazzled by the high beam at night. Does anyone not raise their hands? The abuse of large trucks is more serious. Obviously, we are driving in the opposite direction, but we are bullying others! Of course, there are also big trucks that don't sway you, but they are not bright at all, dragging in the city center. Does it mean that our roads and political facilities are so awesome?

Bian Xiao has something to say:

When driving at night, be sure to concentrate, slow down, and carefully observe the road conditions to avoid colliding with unlit trucks.

Don't deal with trucks with high beams, so as to avoid blind spots on both sides caused by mutual high beams and lead to collision accidents. The correct approach should be to slow down the speed and widen the horizontal distance from the bulk cargo as much as possible to ensure safe and smooth passage. Of course, you can also remind truck drivers to switch to the low beam by switching the low beam, but it is often useless to overtake large trucks at night. You should carefully observe the road conditions and the track of the big truck, and tell the truck driver your overtaking intention by switching the low beam light or turning on the left turn signal.

Drive on a mountain road

Nowadays, holiday travel has become a fashion, and it is inevitable to take the mountain road. Do you often meet big goods? The mountain road is narrow and curved, so it is not difficult for large trucks to shuttle through it. In addition, most large trucks lack maintenance and are accompanied by illegal activities, so there are many hidden dangers of accidents. Once it happens, it is a serious accident, and the car has nowhere to hide.

Bian Xiao has something to say:

Never drive in front of big trucks in mountainous areas. Large trucks with frequent brakes in corners are prone to thermal recession and brake failure, and drivers in front are in danger of being rear-ended. If you find that the truck behind you frequently honks the horn and shakes the headlights, don't think that the driver of the big truck is provocative. Most of them have problems, so it is better to avoid the car in front.

You can choose a road section with a wide field of vision, overtake on the premise of ensuring safety, and use the horn to warn you. Because some trucks are longer, it is necessary to leave a margin for overtaking distance. In this case, please don't speed up the overtaking, but go back to the original lane and take the opportunity to overtake. By the way, overtaking is strictly prohibited in corners.

5. Yisa

Tell me about my experience: I was driving in the innermost lane of the expressway, and the car in front was a car. I was driving normally about 40 meters away from it (I didn't guarantee a safe distance, so I criticized myself first). Suddenly, a white object hit my front windshield. Because the speed was about 80km/h at that time, I didn't have time to react when I rushed to me. By the time I knew it, the white object had been hit by me (fortunately, it was not solid metal).

Bian Xiao has something to say:

Increase the driving distance from the truck that is being scattered or may be scattered, and ensure that the objects scattered by it will not hit you. When overtaking, you should overtake at the fastest speed, and if possible, you should overtake in another lane to ensure safety. Pay attention to avoid objects scattered by trucks on the road to prevent them from colliding with scattered objects because they are invisible. When avoiding, you should also observe the situation on both sides and make sure that there is no car safety before avoiding.

retrograde motion

Although retrograde can save a certain distance, it is also the most dangerous behavior, because once an accident happens, it will be a tragedy of head-on collision. When a large truck is retrograde, it will not turn on the double flash to warn the other side politely, and the speed is generally faster. I really admire the driver's hard work!

Bian Xiao has something to say:

Faced with the menacing momentum, we can only hide, let go, or even stop to ensure our own safety.

7. Long-term occupation of the innermost lane

Although the driving speed of large trucks is generally slow, truck drivers can't help but yearn for overtaking occasionally. They often overtake as fast as they can, and they also enjoy driving in the innermost lane. When the car tried to overtake, it was found that the big goods in front had put out an iron bucket array, blocking the road in front.

Bian Xiao has something to say:

My friend, follow the truck slowly. Doing it will make room, but it will take some time to wait patiently. Please don't forget to keep the distance when waiting, and always pay attention to whether the truck next to you should overtake in parallel. Don't crowd with them, because we really can't crowd them. It is important to keep a good attitude.

8. Forced merger

Because big trucks are not agile because they are tall, it takes longer time and space to merge. For drivers who are all big goods, no one is angry with anyone. When merging, it is more energetic and rude to the other party. Needless to say, injury will only lead to a sad ending of both sides.

Bian Xiao has something to say:

For onlookers, we'd better stay away from them. In case of contact between the two gentlemen, we still have some distance to brake, don't we?

9. Pattern triangle warning sign

Due to the general lack of maintenance of bulk goods, many problems occur in the driving process of vehicles. Drivers of bulk goods have learned a good skill in repairing cars, but unfortunately they have neglected that it is necessary to be safe to repair cars. This is how accidents often happen.

Bian Xiao has something to say:

Don't drive in the emergency lane, let alone overtake in the emergency lane, because the danger may be waiting for you there. Pay attention when driving, so that you can always cope with what happens on the road.
