Semi trailers are a common means of transportation in daily life. Generally speaking, semi trailers are used for long-distance and bulk cargo transportation. However, due to the heavy weight and large volume of the front of the semi trailer, it is easy to cause accidents, which is very dangerous. So what are the basic methods of reversing a semi trailer? What should car owners pay attention to when reversing?
The reversing skills of semi trailers include the following aspects:
1. Before reversing, you need to adjust the body and the front of the car. Generally, it is best to keep the front of the car and the trailer straight. The vehicle needs to master the specific direction and position of the vehicle during reversing, and observe the rearview mirror.
2. If the vehicle needs to reverse to the left, the steering wheel should be turned clockwise at this time. If you want to reverse to the right, you should use a counterclockwise steering wheel. Note that you can't turn the direction directly to the end, you should adjust it while reversing.
3. If the parking space is on the right side, the steering wheel should be turned to the left during reversing. During this period, you must see the distance between the right rear wheel and the road intersection. When you observe that the right rear wheel of the semi trailer has successfully entered the parking space, the steering speed is slightly faster at this time, and the body is straightened in time.
4. And you should also pay attention to the wheel on the left side of the semi trailer. When you see that the rear body will soon be straightened, you should turn the wheel back in time so that the front and body can be straightened. If it is still not straight, you can adjust it slightly at this time.
When driving a semi trailer, whether the vehicle needs to move forward or backward, you must be aware of the surrounding situation. At the same time, you must maintain a good attitude. If you can't get it right the first time, just try it a few more times.
Although reversing is a trivial matter, we still need to pay attention to prevent some potential hidden dangers, otherwise unexpected dangers may occur. Reversing is prone to accidents in the following situations, so we should pay extra attention.
1. Vehicle blind spots
Almost all vehicles have blind spots. Especially when reversing, due to the existence of blind spots, it is easy to hit or run over children or other people.
2. Over-reliance on electronic auxiliary equipment
If you rely on these devices blindly without observing the surrounding environment, it is also easy to cause accidents.
3. Uphill reversing
When reversing uphill, you need to step on the accelerator. At this time, you need to be able to move back and forth between the accelerator and the brake pedal. If the operation is improper, it is easy to cause an accident.
4. Places where U-turns or left turns are prohibited
Reversing in places where there are signs prohibiting U-turns or left turns, as well as at railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, sharp bends, steep slopes, tunnels and other sections, it is easy to be dangerous to reverse in these situations.
Through constant practice and observation, drivers can gradually master the skills of reversing. Practice makes perfect, and with the accumulation of experience, the process of reversing a semi trailer will become safer and more efficient.
