The trailer driver should also pay more attention to the precautions for driving a trailer, which is related to the driving stability of the trailer driver. Before driving a trailer, the driver of the trailer should buy vehicle insurance as early as possible and make insurance planning.

  Precautions for driving semi-trailer!

  1. Because the semi-trailer is different from the all-in-one vehicle, you should turn up and down when turning. Pay attention to the position of the wheel. The angle of turning of the trailer should be at least one meter greater than that of the main vehicle. Only in this way can you finish reversing well.

  2. When overtaking a semi-trailer, pay attention not to return to the driving lane immediately after overtaking the vehicle, because the trailer is usually very long, so it is necessary to leave a corresponding distance. This is a skill. After overtaking, observe the exterior rearview mirror, and after overtaking, there will be a complete rearview head waiting in the rearview mirror. At this time, you are in the return lane.

  3. Because the trailer may cause sideslip on icy and rainy roads, and the trailer may jack the main vehicle, so do not brake and accelerate sharply. Here, I want to remind you: Don't use the closed air brake on icy and snowy roads. If you use the closed air brake, the consequences will be very dangerous, which will directly cause the driving wheel to stop rotating and the vehicle to stall, so you can't control the vehicle. First, you should remember.

  4. As for reversing, it requires hard work. Generally, it takes half a year for a semi-trailer driver to reverse skillfully. The main thing here is reversing in the opposite direction and the predictive wheel return. It should be noted that when reversing with a semi-trailer, do not turn the direction repeatedly. This is a bad habit. Doing so will make you confused about the position of the trailer~! If we need to blow up the oil when we upshift, how much oil we need to waste!!! The so-called oil boom is to be done when downshifting! The purpose of downshifting is to balance the speed of the engine and the driving speed of the vehicle, so as to achieve upshifting and downshifting without clutch!

  5. In case of emergency braking of the semi-trailer, turn on the double flashing lights in time to prompt the vehicles behind, so that they can avoid by detours and other ways to prevent accidents. If the semi-trailer such as van semi-trailer and light special semi-trailer breaks down, the personnel inside the vehicle shall evacuate the carriage and place warning signs at a place 50 meters behind the vehicle, and then check and repair the problems of the semi-trailer.

  6. When parking on the road, don't be too close to the car in front. Too close is likely to cause rear-end collision with the car in front when starting. If the car in front is also a novice, it may also cause rear-end collision if the car in front slips backward, so don't keep a good distance from the car in front when parking.

  7. When  changing lanes in sections with large traffic flow such as highways,  not only should the tail lights be lit to prompt, but also should watch  whether there are cars following closely. If there are cars following  closely, either the distance between the speed and the rear car should  be changed, or the lane should be changed after the rear car overtook.
