Knowing that courtesy is safer, truck drivers have large blind spots

Unlike big trucks and small cars, large trucks are so large that they do not have as much control as cars when they drive. In the daily news, there are always reports that large trucks have been scrapped with bicycles, pedestrians, or cars during lane changes or turning. Whether it is the carelessness of the big truck driver or the provocation of the car driver, the visual blind spot of the truck driver is an important issue that cannot be ignored.


Similar news is happening every day in all parts of the country. Property damage is a trivial matter. Once personal injury is caused, it is an irreparable tragedy. In order to avoid such accidents, many card members will install video systems to increase the blinding effect. To some extent, the truck driver’s field of vision is increased, but this is only from the perspective of the truck driver himself. The possibility of reducing or reducing the risk of accidents does not really make the trucks and pedestrians feel the blind area of ​​the truck. The threat it poses.


First, the truck driver could not find the location.


The other situation is more overlooked by everyone. It is particularly prone to negligence by pedestrians. When crossing lights of trucks, pedestrians or motorcyclists are often seen. Because of the hardships of the road, they wait for the trucks during the light process. In principle, there is no one who is right or wrong. However, as a truck driver, it is difficult to observe from the cab whether there is anyone in the front right of the truck.

At present, most domestic truck models are equipped with blinding mirrors and photo ground mirrors, but the effect is not particularly satisfactory. There is still a large blind spot on the cab side. Photo ground mirror can help the driver to observe the situation of the ground around the car. However, during the driving process, the driver can hardly concentrate on looking at the mirror of the other side of the car. For many drivers, it is also useless.

If the situation is as shown in the picture above, it is difficult for the driver to find that someone is present in the right front of the vehicle. When an accident occurs, it is not just scraping, it is likely to be a result of rolling.

Second, there are certain blind spots when the trucks turn around.


Let's take a look at what the visual relationship between pedestrians and vehicles in the perspective of the perspective of truck cabs is shown on the Internet a few days ago.


The experiment used a 13-meter Auman 6×2 warehouse bar semi-trailer, corresponding to an ordinary household A-class sedan. First of all, we simulated the process of the family car trailing behind the truck and preparing to go beyond the front truck. .

From the picture, we can see that the sedan can observe the rear car in the left rearview mirror of the truck during preparation for overtaking. If the two cars remain parallel, the car will be able to complete this overtaking.

In the picture, the truck is ready to make a turn. It is at this time that the car at the rear is ready to overtake. The driver driving the truck cannot see the rear car from the rearview mirror. This is also the reason why the truck and the car are being scraped during the turn. The hidden danger lies.

Some people may also have doubts about the above-mentioned experiments. They think that when a truck driver turns left, he can put down the glass on the left side of the cab to see if there is a vehicle entering the blind area. This is a common practice. But if the truck does not make a left turn but a right turn, the above method will not work. It is still necessary to look through the rearview mirror. There is still a blind spot.


Xiao Bian concludes: Through the above introduction, I believe we all understand that the blind spot of the truck is a real problem. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to daily traffic. Do not scramble for me. Be polite and protect your own life.
