Accidents of large trucks occur frequently. How do truck drivers ensure their own safety?

In all road traffic accidents, trucks account for the largest proportion, and the consequences and impacts are also the most serious. When most people accuse truck drivers of endangering others' lives, drivers can't ignore their own safety. What should truck drivers do to reduce the accident rate during driving?

weather

First of all, consider the weather. The probability of accidents in foggy or snowy days is greater than that in sunny days. Especially in foggy days, due to the relatively weak penetration of fog lights and particularly low visibility, coupled with driving at night, drivers are prone to visual fatigue, leading to untimely measures or inaccurate judgments in emergency situations. Therefore, truck drivers must take protective measures, such as snow chains, if they have to travel, because they try to avoid bad weather.

Vehicle condition

Freight vehicles have large loading capacity and high speed, which requires high vehicle safety. Old vehicles and sick vehicles are often prone to failures and accidents during driving. Therefore, card friends must pay close attention to the key parts of the truck, such as engine, brakes and tires, and maintain them frequently. After all, the maintenance cost is small and the security risks are great!

An excessive burden

Overloading, illegal loading and unreasonable loading are all hidden dangers of accidents. For dry freight truck drivers, overload is a topic that can never be avoided, and the industry has reached the understanding that "no overload, no profit". So they would rather take all kinds of risks than exceed them. Brother Ka just wants to say that fines are second, and life is really only once!

Road conditions

Rough roads, muddy roads, icy roads, super-large bends and super-long ramps are all factors that lead to traffic accidents. Card friends should plan the route in advance and try to choose a good way. If it is really unavoidable, they should pass carefully.

Finally, the driver's technical and psychological and physiological qualities are also crucial. How many people are in driving without a license or driving vehicles that don't conform to the permitted driving model? Often, their skills have not passed the test, and it is not uncommon for people to drive big trucks at the age of seventeen or eighteen. In addition, when dealing with emergencies, the psychological quality and physical strength of drivers are also very important. A driver who is physically exhausted and panicked is more prone to accidents than others.

Finally, I hope that card friends can avoid these security risks, make money happily and go home safely!
