1: A semi-trailer is different from an integrated vehicle, and when turning, it must have a big turn! Pay attention to the position of the hanging wheels! Pay attention to the trailer turning angle being at least one meter greater than the main vehicle!!
2: When overtaking with a semi-trailer, be careful not to immediately return to the lane after overtaking the vehicle. Trailers are usually very long, so be sure to leave a distance! Tip: Observe the exterior rearview mirror, overtake it, and the complete rear car head appears in the rearview mirror, in the return lane!!
3: Trailers may have a certain chance of skidding on icy and rainy roads, and the situation where the trailer overtakes the main vehicle may occur, so be sure not to brake or accelerate quickly! Special reminder: Do not use closed air brakes on slippery roads with ice and snow!! If used, the consequences are very dangerous, directly causing the drive wheels to stop rotating and the vehicle to stall!!! Unable to control the vehicle!! Remember! Remember!!
4: Regarding braking, trailer braking should occur before the main vehicle! There is now a kind of brake king that, after installation, will brake 2 seconds before the main car when hung up! Attention, turn the steering wheel of the main vehicle without using the brake!
5: Regarding reversing, it requires diligent study and practice! Generally, semi-trailer drivers need at least six months to be proficient in reversing! Key point: Reverse in the opposite direction, predictive wheel return!!! It should be noted that when reversing a semi-trailer, do not repeatedly turn the direction. This is the worst habit, as it will make you confused about the position of the trailer!
