Young people like to pursue excitement, many people will modify the car after buying an off-road vehicle, some people add some sports kits, and some people will install a trailer hook on the rear of the car. The trailer hook can play a big role at critical moments and can help the trapped vehicle get out of trouble.
The scientific name of the trailer hook is also called the towing vehicle hook, the trailer hook is generally set in the rear of the car, and the individual trailer hook can also be installed in the front part of the car. Usually when driving, the tow hook has no effect, and when the vehicle encounters difficulties in the field, the rescue vehicle can tie the rope to the tow hook and drag the tow hook out of the dirt road.
Some car owners obviously do not go to the wild off-road, why do they also have to install the trailer function, in fact, the purpose of these owners is not simple. Some car owners buy urban SUVs, rarely go off-road in the wild, and they install tow hooks on the rear of the car, obviously to prevent being rear-ended and protect themselves.
In Shandong, a Haval H6 was privately installed with a trailer, and unfortunately it was rear-ended by a rear vehicle during the driving process. Since the Haval H6's tow hook was particularly strong, the rear vehicle only hit the trailer hook. The hood of the rear car collided with the trailer hook, and the damage was very serious, the bumper fell off, the hood was deformed, and the parts in the hood were broken.
The Haval H6 was not damaged by the installation of the trailer hook itself, but the rear bumper cracked. After the traffic police came to the scene of the accident, they judged that the rear vehicle rear-end was mainly responsible, and the rear owner felt very unfair. Mr. Liu believes that the speed of the car is not fast during the rear-end collision, and if it were not for the trailer hook installed by the front car, his car could not have been so seriously damaged.
Without the impact of the tow hook, your car will only be slightly damaged, and you can repair the bumper and headlights. Now with the tow hook, the entire hood has been hit and deformed, the internal parts have also had problems and need to be overhauled, and the front car illegally installs the trailer hook, which should bear certain liability for compensation.
How did the traffic police deal with the accident? Although the front car is equipped with a trailer hook, these accidents are still the main responsibility of the rear car driver Mr. Liu. If the car's certificate of conformity states that there is a luggage rack, a trailer hook and other configurations, the owner installing a tow hook is not an illegal modification, and the traffic police will not punish the owner.
The Haval H6 was originally an off-road vehicle, and the certificate of conformity stated that the vehicle had its own luggage rack and trailer hook, so the rear-end collision should bear all the losses by the rear car. If the car's certificate of conformity does not indicate that the car is equipped with a tow hook, this is considered an illegal modification, and the traffic police will fine the owner 200 yuan and require the owner to remove it immediately.
After hearing the explanation of the traffic police, everyone suddenly realized that many off-road vehicles come with a tow hook, and when some vehicles leave the factory, there is no trailer hook installed on the car, and the owner installing the trailer hook in the later stage is not an illegal modification behavior. If the vehicle leaves the factory without a tow hook, the owner of this configuration cannot install the trailer hook privately.
Editor's Comments:
Rear-end collisions are one of the most common types of traffic accidents, and in most cases the rear car is primarily responsible. Want to avoid rear-end collision is very simple, when driving on the road, we must control the speed, pay attention to the distance with the car, when the front car brakes, the rear car should also slow down accordingly.
If you find that the car in front of you is installed, the trailer worker can keep a distance from the car in front. The trailer hook is made of hard material, and any car that collides with the tow hook is very badly damaged.
