Tips for driving a truck on special roads

Mountain Road

1. The most dangerous part of a mountain road is the bend, and there are countless accidents in the bend every year, so you have to be very careful when driving on a mountain bend (especially downhill). Because of the centrifugal force, if the vehicle is driven too fast it is likely to be thrown off the road and fall into the abyss.

2. Try to drive along the edge of the road. The shoulders of mountain roads are many times not always stable because of the foundations, especially after rain.

3. Don't hang a neutral gear when going downhill. Try to see if your brakes are intact before you go downhill.

Muddy Road

When the roads are muddy, the mud sticks to the tyres and the friction between the tyres and the ground is reduced, so there is certainly less traction and the wheels are at risk of skidding. At the same time, the road conditions are not good, resulting in increased resistance to driving. At this point, if the operation is improper it is likely to bring about an accident, resulting in casualties.

1. Leave a safe distance

When driving on muddy roads or roads with water, accelerate slowly, add fuel slowly and make sure the vehicle is running in a straight.

2、Beware of falling into mud puddles

If you accidentally fall into a mud puddle, you can use a small shovel to create a small ramp to the edge of the puddle and then slowly accelerate to pass it. If the puddle is very deep, we can use branches, grass and stones from the roadside to pad the puddle. Then drive out slowly .

Stone Road

Driving on rocky roads is a great test for the vehicle's suspension system. When driving on such roads, it is important to pay attention to the speed of the vehicle and not to go too fast, preferably not more than 20 mph. This is not only to protect the people in the vehicle, but also to prevent accidents from happening (a flat tyre would be a problem).
