Tank truck manufacturers thunderstorm driving tips

When the rainstorm hits in summer, it is also easy to have an accident on the road, in particular, it is necessary to remind tanker owners to drive carefully, especially novices to drive carefully in rainstorm weather.

★ Can I make a phone call while driving in a thunderstorm?

When I was a child, I was told by adults not to stand under trees to shelter from the rain when thunder struck, and not to get close to metal objects. Is it safe to drive in a rainstorm, especially a tanker? Can I make a phone call? Can I listen to the radio?

Tank car manufacturers remind: although the car is a large metal object, but the wet tire has become the metal car and the earth, the car and the earth can not form a back body, so people are relatively safe in the car. For everyone's concern, whether it is safe to call a mobile phone in the car during a thunderstorm, the tanker manufacturer reminds us not to call a mobile phone in the car. Due to the interference of lightning, the wireless frequency of mobile phones is enhanced, which is easy to induce lightning strikes and burning accidents. But in general, lightning only interferes with cell phone signals, at best only damages the chip, and will not cause fatal injury to the human body. At the same time, do not accept the radio during thunderstorms, because the antenna of the radio has the role of a lightning rod, which will absorb lightning, so be sure to put it away. For personal protection in the car, avoid contacting the metal parts in the car when lightning strikes occur, and try not to use the electronic equipment in the car, such as GPS, car phone, CD, etc.; The same is to stop at the side of the road to wait for lightning to stop, to avoid causing problems with the car's electronic system. And if the rain is too heavy to stop for shelter or rainstorm parking, ** do not park the vehicle in a tree or building under the billboard.

★ Water more than 40 cm can also pass?

It is inevitable to encounter water in rainstorm days, how deep the water can not pass, otherwise it may damage the engine?

Tank truck manufacturers remind that deep wading of vehicles is very dangerous, often leading to serious damage to the engine, serious cases will also lead to transmission water, body electrical damage. Therefore, when passing the waterlogged road surface, we must be careful to pass according to the actual situation. In general, the height of the water is less than half of the tire, and first observe whether other vehicles wade through the water are smooth, so as to determine whether there is a deep pit or obstacles on the ground. If the height of the water is more than half of the tire, it can not wade through the water, because the car's exhaust pipe is at this height, forcing through the exhaust pipe is easy to cause water, so that the engine is seriously damaged. If the data is used to describe the safe height of wading, the heavy truck is 100**120 cm, the ordinary large truck is 45~80 cm, the off-road jeep is 60 cm, and the passenger car can not exceed 40 cm.

When the tanker wades in water, it is necessary to ensure that the engine runs normally, the steering and braking mechanism is sensitive, and the low-speed 1 or 2 gear drives smoothly into the water to avoid blasting the throttle or rushing to prevent water splashing into the engine and stalling; When driving in water, keep the throttle steady, pass through the water with one breath, and try to avoid changing gear or making sharp turns in the middle. When driving, try to look at the fixed target in the distance, hold the steering wheel with both hands and go straight forward, and do not look at the water or spray, so as not to confuse the sight and create an illusion, so that the vehicle deviates from the normal route and accidents occur. Another point to bear in mind is that if there is a car in front of the water, do not follow it to prevent the front car from stopping due to failure, forcing you to be in a dilemma in the water. If you die while wading, do not restart the engine.

【 Tank truck manufacturers 】 Driving tips in rainstorm days

☆ Try not to drive near the sidewalk in rainy days

In the most prosperous part of the city, the traffic is dense, coupled with heavy rain, the line of sight will be very blurred. It should be noted that during the rainstorm, special attention should be paid to the pedestrians on the roadside. Since there are more people taking taxis on rainy days, it is recommended not to get close to the sidewalk when driving, and if you are walking on the passage near the sidewalk, you should slow down.

If it is driving in dark rainstorm weather, neon lights and other lights on both sides of the road will affect the line of sight of the owner. At this time, comply with the principle of "speed does not yield the way", when passing through the curve, slope, narrow road, must reduce the speed. If the glare of the other car makes the driver unable to identify the road, try to slow down or pull over, do not shoot with strong light. Similarly, try not to turn on headlights to others, affecting driving safety. If the rain is too large, you can also turn on the double jump lights to prompt vehicles driving around and around.

☆ Let speed not give way carefully through the maintenance section

Rainstorm days are generally dark, and the depth of water on the road is impossible to judge. Some urban or rural roads are in infrastructure, some roads have potholes, sunny days can also see the potholes to avoid, once it rains, potholes are filled with rain, and accidentally the wheel will be hurt by these traps. Therefore, in the construction of road sections, do not cross the violent turn.

☆ Beware of skidding at low speed

In a strong storm, no matter how good the windshield wiper can not scrape the rain on the front windshield in time, be sure to reduce the speed, turn on the low light and anti-fog lights. If the tanker is driving on the inner ring road or elevated road, pay attention to appropriately increase the following distance to avoid the risk of rear-end collision. Because the rainy road is wet, if the speed is too fast or overtaking recklessly at this time, it is easy to cause the wheel to slip by slightly moving the steering wheel.
