At 7 o'clock on March 17, 2023, on the Dongfeng Road section of Jinjiang Town, Shanggao County, Jiangxi Province, Provincial Highway 431, a heavy-duty semi-trailer tractor overturned due to improper operation. Traffic police tips: Do not forcibly overtake under the condition of not overtaking, and keep a safe speed.
Causing the truck to roll over
Common causes and their precautions
It is hoped that the majority of drivers will be vigilant
Prevent accidents caused by vehicle rollovers
01
Overload, non-standard loading
Trucks transport goods beyond the approved load weight, resulting in a decrease in vehicle safety, increasing the braking distance, and there are great risks and hidden dangers: 1. Exceeding the tire load, it is easy to lead to a puncture; 2. The load of the carriage is unbalanced, and it is easy to roll over when changing lanes, turning or braking; 3. The braking distance is extended, and the braking distance is insufficient; 4. It brings overload pressure to roads and bridges, and endangers road public facilities.

When the truck is transported, the goods are not loaded according to the specifications, which is easy to scatter and tilt, especially when driving in curves, it is more likely to cause the vehicle to roll over due to the tilt of heavy objects and the shift of the center of gravity.

Precautionary approach
Truck drivers, freight companies, and loading companies must strictly abide by road traffic safety laws and regulations, keep in mind "safety first", and put an end to overloaded transportation!

Freight vehicles should ensure that the goods loaded in the specification, bundled firmly, strictly prohibit over-height, over-length, over-wide, overload and other violations, to prevent the vehicle in the curved road section of the center of gravity instability caused by rollover;
In addition, when passing through the service area to rest, the driver should also get out of the car to check the fixing of the goods again to ensure that the goods are tied firmly to avoid the situation of goods falling.
02
Flat tires in vehicles
Vehicle puncture for safe driving, especially high-speed driving is extremely harmful, once the vehicle puncture, will instantly lose balance, if the driver is not properly handled, it will cause traffic accidents that cause car damage and injury.

First of all, the tire is not replaced and maintained for a long time, and the pattern is seriously worn or the rubber aging is easy to cause a puncture; secondly, when the tire is punctured by an iron nail or other sharp object and the tire is not pierced temporarily, the tire will leak, and then cause a puncture; in addition, the tire pressure is too high or too low will make the tire tolerance performance decrease, and the tire pressure is too high to make the sharp objects on the road surface more likely to pierce the tire, resulting in a puncture; when the tire pressure is too low, the tire performance is reduced, and the grip of the vehicle is reduced and the vehicle is easy to roll over out of control.

Precautionary approach
▲ The picture comes from the Internet
1. Regularly check the wear of tires, if the wear and tear reaches the tire warning signs, replace new tires as soon as possible, and replace tires that exceed the service life or have been aged, and tires that are not used for a long time should not be used.
2. Check the tire pressure before driving to ensure that the tire pressure is within the normal range.
3. Clean up the stones, glass, nails and other debris embedded on the surface of the tire in time to prevent these objects from entering the inside of the tire and causing a puncture during driving.
4. Prevent the tire temperature from being too high. Learn to control your speed and try not to start sharply, brake sharply and make sharp turns, which will increase tire wear and increase instantaneous pressure, and avoid exposing your tires to the scorching sun.
5. Eliminate overload. When overloaded, the pressure of the tires increases, and it is easy to deform due to compression, and the internal pressure of the tires will also increase in order to withstand such a large pressure. At the same time, because the contact area increases, it will also increase the wear of the wheel shoulders, especially when going uphill, it is easy to cause punctures.
What to do if you get a flat tire while driving

1. Control the direction
Once the vehicle has a flat tire, first of all, don't panic, hold the steering wheel with both hands, and try to control the car.
2. Do not brake urgently
Avoid overheating the brakes due to overuse of the brakes or brake locking, causing spontaneous combustion of tires and spontaneous combustion of vehicles.
3. Drive safely off the main road
Brake slowly and drive off the main road, park in a relatively safe place and turn on the double flash. During this process, pay attention to the surrounding vehicles.
4. Place warning signs
Place the warning triangle on the road behind the vehicle after parking and make a safety warning.
5. Evacuation of personnel
All occupants of the vehicle were evacuated to safety.
6. Replace the spare tire or seek rescue
Replace the spare tire as soon as possible, and call for emergency if there is no spare tire.
7. So how to effectively prevent a flat tire?
This requires us to pay more attention to the condition of the tires and maintain the tires regularly. If the vehicle is running too much shake and vibration, the sidewall of the tire cracks, the tread pattern is seriously worn and even bulging, then it is a danger alarm for the tire, and the risk of puncture is great if the tire continues to be in service. Paying attention to tire pressure on a daily basis, regularly correcting tire balance, adjusting tires for 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers, and replacing tires for 60,000 kilometers are the most needed care for tires in your car.
03
Driver factor
The driver's lack of driving experience or illegal behaviors such as fatigue driving and distracted driving lead to the inability to correctly judge the traffic environment or take correct measures when encountering an emergency, resulting in the vehicle rolling out of control.
▲ The picture comes from the Internet
The driver is not driving safely: the highway speed is fast, and the driver slams the steering wheel when changing lanes, which is easy to cause the vehicle to flick the tail and roll over; especially when encountering a curved road section, slamming the steering wheel will increase the centrifugal force of the vehicle, causing the vehicle to roll over or even roll continuously; speeding will weaken the driver's ability to understand the space, and at the same time, the friction between the tire and the road surface is reduced, and the truck will lose control when encountering a dangerous situation, so that the goods roll and cause the center of gravity to be unstable, so that the rollover occurs.

Precautionary approach
Drivers should maintain good driving conditions and driving habits, always be vigilant, do not speed, do not overload, and standardize safe driving.
Before entering the curve, the driver should slow down in advance, use appropriate gears, maintain a stable speed, pay attention to blind spots and other vehicles, which can not only improve driving safety, but also allow the driver to have sufficient reaction time in order to respond in time in an emergency.

There is no "rollover" in the world, as long as you are willing to "prevent"
On the high traffic police
May you have a safe journey
