According to the Statistical Annual Report of Road Traffic Accidents in People's Republic of China (PRC) (20 17), the fatality rate of heavy truck traffic accidents is as high as 58%, more than half.
The fatality rate of accidents involving only passenger cars is only 26%.
In 20 17 years, there were 9 serious road traffic accidents with a single death 10 or more, of which 4 involved heavy trucks.
Therefore, when encountering a big truck, the first thing to do is to keep a good distance.
Just like other animals on the African grassland, when you see an elephant coming, whether you are a lion or something else; Eat grass or meat ... Let's meet.
Try to keep a distance from the big truck.
This truck has a big blind spot.
The reason for keeping the distance is that the blind area of large trucks is very large, which makes it difficult for truck drivers.
In many places, it is possible that we just can't see the car. If we are not allowed, we don't even know we exist.
Technically, it is called "truck blind zone", which is divided into complete blind zone and semi-blind zone.
The complete blind area refers to both sides and directly behind the cargo hold.
This is easy to understand. In fact, there are cars, but the blind spot will be bigger on the truck, especially on the right side of the cargo hold.
The semi-blind area is special, on both sides and in front of the front of the car. Because the cockpit of the big truck is very high, close to the vehicle and lower than the lower edge of the window, this place may not be visible.
Even if we sit there and look down from the side window, there is actually a dead corner that we can't see. Even if we put our face on the window and look down from the glass window, we can't see it.
There is half a blind spot around, but it is especially serious on the right side far from the driver and the right side of the front of the car.
Car home has done the actual measurement: an SUV of Highlander's size can't be seen or found even on the right side of a small three-axle truck.
Long braking distance
The second reason for keeping the distance between cars is that the braking distance of large trucks is very long.
We have done it in the video before. "There are so many accidents with big trucks. Are drivers really hitting them directly without braking?" Here is a detailed introduction.
It takes 183m for a fully loaded commercial vehicle to stop at a speed of 104km/h, and 40m is enough for an ordinary family car 100 km, which is more than four times.
This is only under the condition of standard load, and many cars in China are overloaded. Everybody knows that, right?
Wang Zhixiang, Chang 'an University, wrote a master's thesis "Study on Safety Countermeasures for Road Traffic Accidents of Heavy Trucks", with data on it.
In the serious road traffic accidents of trucks, nearly 80% trucks are overloaded, and most trucks are 2 to 3 times the standard load, which will seriously affect the braking and stability of trucks.
Therefore, if we drive in front of the truck, we really need to leave enough braking distance for it.
Why do I have to say it so many times? Do you think it's a bit strange to talk?
You should also think that the distance you leave is a bit outrageous. Try to keep it more than twice the normal distance, and be faster than it, in front of them.
For example, when driving at a speed of 100km, it must be at least 200m in front of it, so it is relatively conservative.
Otherwise, once the truck behind comes up or brakes slightly, people will come directly and become accordions directly.
Of course, sometimes we have to be between two trucks.
For example: traffic jam, wow, the pressure is really great. You should keep a distance of three or four bodies from the truck in front.
Drive a double flash to remind the rear car, always pay attention to the situation of the truck behind, I will do it myself, I am nervous.
If you really hit it at this time, it may not be an accordion, but it may just be flat.
For example, it's a little late to press the flash, and the car behind you has already come up. You may honk the horn wildly, that is, the horn of the big truck is very loud, right? The flashing lights remind us.
Use this time to speed up and hide in the next lane. Don't go out at one o'clock.
Super trucks must be fast.
In addition to keeping the distance between cars, the second thing to pay attention to is that super-large trucks must be fast.
In fact, the reason is similar to what I said before, because overtaking is definitely close to the truck, so try to reduce the time in the blind area and distance yourself from the truck as soon as possible.
Turn signals must be turned on before overtaking. If possible, honk the horn or raise the flashing light to remind the driver in front of you that I am overtaking.
Even if he looked around and saw that there was no car, he thought, maybe you are in a blind spot, at least stay still, which is still very important.
If it's two lanes, it's faster when you need to overtake by road.
The van is long, isn't it? It's much longer than an ordinary car. If the speed cannot be improved, the overtaking time will be much longer than expected. If you get a car across the street, you will be in a dilemma.
It's a bit like: defending the highland with the residual blood in the game, and the line of soldiers on the other side is coming again. It is not clear whether to risk your life or return to spring, is it?
Don't get in the way with trucks at intersections.
The third thing to pay attention to is not to grab the road at intersections and big trucks. There are two situations.
Turn in the same direction, grab the road
1 When turning in the same direction, don't overtake or grab the road from the inside of the truck.
When a car turns, the paths of the front and rear wheels are actually different, which will form a crescent-shaped "inner wheel difference" area.
The inner wheel difference of large trucks will be very, very large.
Tell me an inappropriate example: when you walk left and right, the steps of your left foot and right foot are different, right?
If the big truck is also a person, if you turn right or left, it looks like a cripple in the distance. It just staggered over there with a very large range.
Xu of Hebei University of Technology has a master's thesis. Let's listen to it. The research on the formation mechanism and preventive measures of the blind area of large vehicles turning right has been calculated above.
The inner wheel difference of a 3-axle truck with a wheelbase of 6.5m can reach 20.76m2, and if the 6-axle truck with a wheelbase of 12.26m can reach 40.39m2, it will almost catch up with a suite in Shanghai.
When a large truck enters a corner, in order to leave room for the rear wheel to turn, the front of the truck is usually outside. It seems that there is a lot of room for overtaking in the corner, as if it made me.
Once the truck enters the turning stage and the body rolls over, this space will soon disappear and it will be squeezed out, which is very dangerous.
It's kind of like a fake move. As soon as it goes to the left, there are so many seats on the right.
"Alas" is empty. When I went up, when it really turned right, my whole body pushed all the way to the right, and we had nowhere to run. This thing is "alas" more dangerous.
When you turn right, try not to be on its right, which is what dialect means.
Non-directional grab
Let's talk about another kind, non-directional road grab, and there are actually many related accident cases.
For example, the car goes straight, the opposite truck turns left, or the car turns left and the truck on the right goes straight, all of which belong to this situation.
As long as they meet, they are basically "ants hitting elephants."
If we say: the big car hit the direction to avoid, it may be that the center of gravity is high, and other people's cars are swinging their tails, but the center of gravity is high and they roll over.
"Wow" is full of sand, and "Wow" is full of steel bars and iron bars. It is really dangerous to press on the car or other cars.
Therefore, in this case, cars must not get in the way with big trucks. Even if we have the right of way, we should let it go first.
I think on the one hand, it is to avoid losses. On the other hand, friends who drive trucks are really hard. It's really not easy. Let him walk more every day. Why not? Right?
I recommend that you also let the truck master walk more smoothly.
Lu Yu truck, we must remain in awe.
Generally speaking, when you meet a big truck on the road, you must maintain awe and respect. What you are afraid of is safety, and it is not easy to respect everyone.
The structural strength of the car is in front of the big truck, which is not much different from Lego bricks. So, it's a point to hide as far as you can.
The second is: We drive mainly for commuting or going to restaurants. People drive trucks to transport food. It is most important for everyone to go home safely.
If you think you agree with what I said, let's discuss it together in the comment area and the message area.
