Parking, seemingly a simple action, hides many safety hazards. Especially on today's complex urban traffic roads, parking a semi trailer is a tricky problem. For drivers, a little carelessness is very likely to cause a traffic accident during parking.
It can be seen that safe parking is not only a responsibility to others, but also a guarantee of your own personal safety. So for large vehicles like semi trailers, what should you pay attention to when parking? Today's article sorts out some common parking tips for you, hoping it can be helpful to you.
1. Confirm the parking space
Before parking, first confirm that there is enough space to park the semi trailer. Because the semi trailer body is long, the parking space it occupies is relatively large. At the same time, a suitable distance from the adjacent vehicle should be reserved in advance to facilitate vehicle entry and exit.
2. Observe the surrounding environment
Before parking, carefully observe the surrounding environment, including other vehicles, pedestrians, obstacles, etc. Because the front of the semi trailer is large, it may cause blind spots. Therefore, the driver needs to observe the rearview mirror and observe sideways when necessary.
3. Use reversing skills
A common reversing technique is to turn the steering wheel to one side first, move the vehicle closer to that direction, and then slowly back up. Before the vehicle is parallel to the shoulder or target position, return the steering wheel to the right position so that the vehicle is parallel to the shoulder or target position.
Another reversing technique is to turn the steering wheel all the way to the right when the vehicle is stopped, slightly release the brake pedal, and use the creeping function of the semi trailer to reverse. When the left side of the vehicle reaches the target position, stop reversing.
4. Observe traffic rules
During parking, strictly observe traffic rules. It is forbidden to park semi trailers in prohibited parking areas, and you must leave in time when parking in temporary parking areas. Before parking, make sure that it does not affect other vehicles and pedestrians, and be careful when opening and closing the doors.
5. Use auxiliary tools properly
If you park under some complex road conditions, you can consider using auxiliary tools, such as reversing radar, reversing image, etc., to improve the accuracy and safety of parking. However, you should not rely too much on auxiliary tools, otherwise it will be difficult for the driver to respond in time when an emergency occurs.
Reversing a semi trailer is the most difficult part of driving. It usually takes at least half a year to master it. This is mainly because semi trailers reverse in the opposite direction, which is different from integrated vehicles. Practice makes perfect. As long as you practice for a long time and accumulate skills, you will be able to master the reversing of a semi trailer.
