What are the precautions for driving a tanker in thunderstorm weather?

1. When driving a tanker in thunderstorm weather, you must pay attention to driving at a low speed, keep a distance from other vehicles and lengthen the safe distance. Because the road surface is slippery in rainy days, it is necessary to avoid the side slip of the car body and the side collision of the left and right vehicles caused by emergency braking. If the vehicle speed is too fast and the distance from the vehicle in front is too small, the blown water mist is likely to affect the driver's sight, and it will rear-end with the vehicle in front in an emergency.

2. When driving a tanker in thunderstorm weather, the driver must concentrate, don't look around, hold the steering wheel with both hands, and don't be distracted by the splashing water around the car, so that the vehicle deviates from the driving route. Remember to turn on the wiper in rainy days, so that the rain on the windshield can be cleaned in time, and the driver can see the road better, greatly reducing the chance of accidents.

3. Sometimes thunderstorm weather will produce water on the road. At this time, the driver must not blindly pass. It is necessary to determine the depth of the water and judge it in time before it can pass. When the water depth is below the bumper or less than half of the wheel, it can pass. During driving, pay attention to driving at low speed, do not shift gears or make sharp turns, and do not turn off the engine. Otherwise, the exhaust pipe of the vehicle is easy to get water, which will eventually damage the engine. If the depth of the accumulated water cannot be estimated, don't take risks, and wait until the water recedes before crossing or bypassing.

4. Vehicles are easy to slip in thunderstorm weather. At this time, the driver should not panic, but should be calm. Hold the steering wheel tightly to prevent the vehicle from leaving the track. If the front wheel slips, you need to turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction. If the rear wheel slips, you need to turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction.
