How should I deal with the following situations?

● Brake failure, vehicle collision, personnel disability

● Slippery road, loss of vehicle control, vehicle collision

● Emergency avoidance, vehicle collision

● So how should we deal with these situations?

For brake failure

1. Immediately turn on the hazard warning flashing lights, stabilize the steering wheel, release the accelerator, and slow down in a low-speed gear. For vehicles equipped with auxiliary braking devices such as engine exhaust brake and retarder, turn on the auxiliary braking device at the same time.

2. The occupants in the car should sit firmly and make full use of the avoidance lanes, ramps or roadside obstacles (such as roadside guardrails, etc.) to help slow down and stop. In a last resort, you can use the carriage to rub against the rocks, guardrails, and trees by the roadside, or even hit the hillside diagonally with the front bumper to force the vehicle to stop to reduce losses.

for vehicle collisions

When a vehicle collides, the driver shall deal with it in the order of "self-rescue in the event of a collision and escape after the collision". First of all, it is necessary to minimize casualties, and then try to take measures to escape smoothly, and report to the police in time.

Self-rescue in the event of a vehicle collision. In the event of a side collision, the driver should hold the steering wheel tightly and bend his arms slightly to avoid dislocation of the elbow joint; lean back, lean back against the seat back, and at the same time straighten his legs forward against the cab floor, so that the body is fixed on the cab floor. inside the car.

In the event of a frontal collision or rear-end collision, if the collision is unavoidable and the collision direction is on the driver's side, at the moment of the head-on collision, the driver should quickly raise his legs, let go of the steering wheel with both hands, and lie on the right side to avoid The body is squeezed by the steering wheel and injured, and the passenger is reminded to hold the seat tightly and lean against the back of the seat to prevent injury due to the rebound force of the collision.

Driving on slippery roads

1. The road surface is slippery due to rain and snow, so the driver should drive at a low speed.

2. When the vehicle slips, turn the steering wheel slightly in the direction of the side slip, and turn the steering wheel in time to adjust. If the vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, immediately depress the brake pedal to the bottom. If the vehicle is not equipped with anti-lock brakes, service braking measures can be applied intermittently. During driving, in case of slippery road surface, it is strictly forbidden to use braking and steering at the same time to reduce the chance of sideslip.

For emergency avoidance of obstacles

Hold the steering wheel firmly, brake and slow down immediately, minimize the energy at the moment of collision, and quickly observe the traffic conditions in front of and on both sides of the vehicle.

When the speed of the vehicle is significantly reduced, turn the steering wheel to bypass the obstacle, or steer the vehicle to avoid the side with simpler road conditions or fewer obstacles. The steering wheel should not be turned too far or too fast.

If you do not have the conditions for steering and avoidance after emergency braking, and it is impossible to avoid hitting the obstacle, it is recommended to hit the vehicle at the middle position in front of the vehicle to prevent the vehicle from turning out of control and rolling over due to the impact to the greatest extent.

When the center of gravity of the vehicle is high or the vehicle speed is high, emergency steering and avoidance measures are prohibited.

In the video, the driver made a mistake and avoided the vehicle in front without the conditions for steering avoidance, causing damage to vehicles in the next lane and causing greater losses. In the seriously wrong measures and disposal, some large trucks also lost control and rolled over, resulting in even greater losses.

For personnel incapacitated situations

Incapacitated due to sudden illness, there is currently no good remedy for this. For example, if the driver has the ability to continue to operate the vehicle, try to control the direction of the vehicle as far as possible, and deal with it according to the procedure of "stop, open the door, evacuate, and call for help".

Try to do a good job of disease prevention for drivers, such as regular physical examination, maintain good living and work habits, learn self-maintenance and adjustment, and master the knowledge and skills of common sudden diseases. Safety warnings are given before departure, blood pressure is measured, and necessary medicines can be carried with you if conditions permit.
