There are a few things to keep in mind when driving a tanker at night
When the tanker is running at night, it is necessary to check the working condition of the instrument. Driving at night to see the dashboard is mainly to listen and see, observe the engine and chassis have no noise or abnormal smell. To maintain a moderate speed, pay attention to increase the distance from the car, and be ready to stop at any time to prevent the occurrence of front and rear collision accidents.
In the city, be aware of pedestrians crossing the street on the left. When driving at night, when the speed is below 30 km/h, the low light should be used, and the light is 30 meters away. When the speed is more than 30 km/h, the high beam should be used, and the light must be illuminated 100 meters away.
When driving on the road with street lights, you can use anti-glare lights or low light lights and wide lights. When driving through the intersection at night, you should slow down at 50-100 meters from the intersection, and turn the high beam lamp into a low light, and turn on the turn signal to indicate the direction of travel.
Driving at night generally does not use the horn, but usually uses the method of repeated exchange of near and far light, instead of telling the road condition ahead. When driving at night and stopping temporarily or for some reason, the wide light and license plate light should always be turned on. Driving at night should try to avoid overtaking, must be overtaking, should accurately determine the situation in front, confirm the conditions are mature, and then follow up the front car, continuously change the light (with the horn if necessary), predict the front car to avoid, in the judgment of the front car has given way to allow overtaking, before overtaking should be appropriately increased workshop distance.
Driving at night with poor vision and unclear road boundaries often makes the vehicle deviate from the normal movement track or take less measures in case of accidents. Tanker drivers should reduce their driving speed to increase the time for observation, decision making and reaction. When reversing or turning around, you must get out of the car to find out the advance and retreat terrain, up and down and around the safety limits, and then reverse or turn around, leaving more room in the advance and reverse, in the case of not seeing the target, you can use a flashlight or other lights.
