Precautions for drivers of vehicle transport semi-trailers

Most drivers will feel less tired when driving on mountain roads than driving on straight roads for a long time. Because the driver at this moment is basically doing whole body movements non-stop. The changing road surface up and down, left and right, and the constantly changing roadside environment usually make the driver in a state of relative excitement, especially in a strange environment with beautiful scenery. At this time, the driver should control his state and concentrate on driving the semi-trailer, and the fellow car drivers should pay more attention to reminding them to slow down appropriately.

Driving on mountain roads is different from driving on ordinary roads. Keeping your sightlines, not being in neutral, and learning to control gears are the principles that drivers should abide by.

The primary problem when driving on mountain roads is to maintain a good line of sight as much as possible. The viewpoint should be far away and the road conditions and roadside environment should be seen clearly. Try to use the width of the road to choose the driving route, and honk the horn when the line of sight is not good. At the same time, you can open the window to listen to the sound outside the car, and close the window when facing a cliff that may fall. Pay attention to check the working condition of the instrument, especially the water temperature and oil pressure.

When the road is going uphill, the engine should maintain sufficient power, select the appropriate gear in advance, and be ready to avoid driving down at any time. Do not coast in neutral when going downhill. When using the brakes for a long time, consider preventing the brake drum or disc from overheating. You can use the gear to control the speed of the vehicle and put it in a low gear. Try to avoid parking on mountain roads, and choose a relatively straight and safe location with good sightlines if necessary.

The method used by the driver when he is in a hurry to rush the road is to slow down when entering the curve and accelerate when exiting the curve, so as to ensure that the vehicle can run safely and quickly on the winding mountain road. Although driving in this way will consume some fuel, it can bring a lot of driving pleasure to the driver and increase the speed of the vehicle.

Generally, there will be a chance to surpass with the acceleration force of the engine. Another is that the slow car in front is a car driven by a novice. This kind of car does not matter much, because novices have self-knowledge, will give way when going straight, and will have many opportunities to overtake.

The most feared situation is that the vehicle in front is also a semi-trailer, and the driver is not a novice, but he is not used to driving on mountain roads, which leads to slow curves and fast straights, so it will be more difficult to overtake. If the driver of the car in front is unconvinced and competes with you, it will be very difficult to overtake, and there is almost no chance without some skills. In this case, the speed-up capability of the vehicle alone cannot be surpassed. On the premise of relatively proficient driving skills, certain skills are required.

The semi-trailer should turn off the air conditioner before entering the corner, because for small displacement vehicles, the air conditioner still has a great influence on acceleration. When overtaking on mountain roads, do not overtake in curves, because the field of view is too narrow. Once you encounter an opponent car, especially one that is going down the mountain quickly, a serious accident will occur. This is a taboo when driving on mountain roads, remember! It is also not advisable to use a later braking point, which will also complete the overtaking in the corner. If you encounter a driver who is deliberately competing with the car in front on the straight road, the only way is to turn off the air conditioner and increase the distance before entering the corner, and enter and exit the corner faster than the car in front, so that there is no rival car at the moment of exit (or If there is a rival vehicle but the distance is sufficient), decisively overtake the semi-trailer at the most powerful speed range of the engine.

One is a snail-slow truck farm vehicle tractor. It is not difficult for this kind of car to overtake, because although the small-displacement car has poor acceleration ability on mountain roads, it is still very "quick" to deal with these slow cars. For this kind of car, as long as you find a suitable straight road, you will generally have a chance to overtake it with the acceleration of the engine. Another is that the slow car in front is a car driven by a novice. This kind of car does not matter much, because novices have self-knowledge, will give way when going straight, and will have many opportunities to overtake.
