A semi-trailer on Hangzhou highway was "cut off" by steel plates. How tragic is the scene?

Large trucks are the means of transportation we often see. Large trucks are in a very miserable situation in the event of a traffic accident because of their high speed and many goods. A video of the cab of a semi-trailer being flattened by a steel plate was circulated on the Internet, which attracted the attention of netizens.

It happened in Changshu, Suzhou. As can be seen in the video, the big truck suddenly braked suddenly, and the steel plate on the car rushed forward due to inertia, directly knocking down the entire cab. The scene was very scary. According to follow-up reports, we learned that there were no casualties in this incident, and the specific cause of the incident is still under investigation.

The risk factor of large trucks is much higher than that of ordinary household vehicles, so truck drivers must drive safely for the safety of themselves and others.

1. Driving without fatigue

Truck drivers are usually pressed for time. Sometimes after unloading the goods here, they will immediately load other goods and start without stopping, resulting in many truck drivers not having a good rest and falling asleep easily during driving, thus leading to traffic accidents. Therefore, drivers of large trucks must rest well, or multiple drivers will take turns driving to prevent traffic accidents.

2. No overload, no speeding

In order to get more economic benefits, many truck drivers usually choose to overload, which is a very dangerous behavior. Overloading will cause vehicle weighing burden and easily lead to traffic accidents. Speeding is also dangerous. Because of the heavy weight of large trucks, it is very dangerous for truck drivers and other passers-by to stop when they encounter sudden braking during high-speed driving.

3. Maintain the vehicle regularly.

Every time the train runs, it is necessary to carry out maintenance inspection on the vehicle, and replace the aged or seriously worn parts to reduce the potential safety hazard.

Car accidents are fiercer than tigers. Every car accident may lead to the breakdown of several families, so everyone must obey the traffic rules.
