Reversing is one of the most difficult skills to learn for those who are new to semi-trailers. Usually, the semitrailer and the tractor travel in opposite directions when reversing, and the trailer is generally very long, making it difficult to estimate the distance and angle. We interviewed several experienced drivers, summed up some semi-trailer reversing skills, and gave them a reference for those who need it.
When the semi-trailer is reversed, it is in the opposite direction, and drivers who are new to the semi-trailer need to get used to it for a while. When reversing, you should grasp the position and direction of the vehicle and check the rearview mirror. If the trailer is relatively long, or the terrain is complex and the field of vision is limited, it is better to have a person in charge of the command under the car, so that it will be easier to operate.
Before reversing, adjust the front of the car and the body, try to keep the front and the trailer straight, or the front of the car is tilted to the side of the target parking space, and then operate according to the basic method: turn the steering wheel clockwise when reversing to the left, and turn the steering wheel counterclockwise when reversing to the right. steering wheel. Be careful not to kill the direction, the semi-trailer is also corrected while reversing. If you can't turn around, it's best to get off the front of the car and back up again.
The parking space is on the right side, the steering wheel should be turned to the left when reversing, and the distance between the right rear wheel and the road crossing should be clearly seen. When you see the right rear wheel of the trailer entering the parking space, you need to turn the direction faster at this time, get the body back as soon as possible, and pay attention to the left wheel of the trailer. When the rear body is about to be straightened, quickly return the wheel, so that the body and the front of the car can be turned straight. If it is still not straight, it can be adjusted again.
● Concentrate and keep calm
Knowing the basic method, the rest is practice, but usually pay attention to the following points:
1. No matter whether you go forward or reverse, you must see the surrounding situation clearly. In the case of limited field of vision, people can help command, but try to keep the commander within the field of vision and keep the distance between people and vehicles. Do not follow the footsteps of Comrade Lei Feng. .
2, to maintain a good attitude, no matter what the situation should be calm. If you can't get one, it doesn't matter if you get a few more, don't worry even if someone urges you to sound the horn, the same driver will understand.
3. When reversing, you must observe carefully and slow down. Even if the old driver is skilled, don't take it lightly. Because there are many accidents caused by reversing every year, don't let your carelessness hurt yourself and others.
