What are the safety hazards in semi-trailer driving? How to avoid it?

Semi-trailer is a common type of truck, but there are many safety risks in the running. The main safety hazards include abnormal handling, unstable center of gravity, overload, and fatigue driving. These safety hazards may lead to the occurrence of traffic accidents and bring serious safety hazards to road traffic.

First of all, the semi-trailer is prone to abnormal control during driving. Due to the separation of the front and the carriage of the semi-trailer, the driver needs to be more stable and skilled in the control, otherwise it is easy to control out of control. In order to avoid this situation, the driver should receive professional training, master the correct handling skills, keep the speed steady and pay attention to stay away from sharp turns.

Secondly, the unstable center of gravity of the semi-trailer is also a common safety hazard. Because the compartment part of the semi-trailer is longer and more space, when the vehicle suddenly turns sharply or suddenly accelerates and decelerates, the vehicle is prone to rollover or out of control. In order to avoid this situation, the driver should drive as smoothly as possible during the control process, do not rush to slow down, and try to maintain a stable speed.

In addition, the overload of the semi-trailer is also a common safety hazard. Due to the strong transmission capacity of the semi-trailer, some drivers are easy to overload the vehicle, resulting in rollover or out of control during the driving of the vehicle. In order to avoid the safety problems caused by overload, the driver should load the goods in strict accordance with the stipulated load standards, and do not overload to ensure the stability and safety of the vehicle.

Finally, tired driving is also a common safety hazard. Because the semi-trailer usually needs long-distance transportation, the driver is prone to fatigue driving during a long driving process, leading to problems such as inattention and slow reaction, and increasing the risk of traffic accidents. In order to avoid the safety hazards caused by tired driving, drivers should reasonably arrange rest time during long-distance driving, ensure sufficient rest and sleep time, and avoid tired driving.

In general, there are many safety hazards in the driving of semi-trailer, of which abnormal control, unstable center of gravity, overload and fatigue driving are more common problems. In order to avoid these safety hazards, drivers should strengthen their own skills training, pay attention to vehicle load and stability, reasonably arrange rest time, ensure vehicle and driving safety, and reduce the possibility of traffic accidents.
