According to @ Lanzhou, the driver of the accident was Li Feng, a driver of Liaoning Province, and the vehicle involved was Liaoning ak4481 heavy semi-trailer tractor. Lanzhou accident driver said that the brake failed, so what to do when the brake failed?
What to do when the brake fails? This is the method and experience that an old driver once told me to share with you.
The first step is to drive a double flash and keep on honking so that all the cars around you will notice you and know that your car has an accident. If there are other people in the car, let others call the police immediately, let the traffic police know your situation, evacuate the vehicles ahead appropriately, and arrange deceleration or emergency parking facilities.
The second step is to slowly pull up the handbrake, which must be slow. If you can't do it, you'd rather not pull it, because suddenly pulling the handbrake may cause the car to overturn. At the same time, continuously step on the brake in the way of snub and try to activate the brake system.
The third step is to lower the gear. For the manual gear model, you can try to grab the gear, directly push into the low gear, and use the engine to reduce the speed. If the vehicle is on the downhill or the speed is fast, you can try to use the two foot throttle to move forward and backward, and then use the throttle to move forward and then open the clutch with the help of the big foot throttle to lower the gear.
Step 4: friction deceleration. If you still can't reduce the speed, you should consider collision deceleration. Pay attention to whether there are objects that can be collided on the left and right. Remember not to hit them head on, hold the steering wheel with both hands, and use multiple slight collisions to forcibly reduce the speed.
Step 5: assist in parking, and pay attention to whether there are flowers, soft mud, fields or emergency escape lanes beside the road. If there are, drive in and use flowers and soft mud to help the vehicle slow down.
Brake failure in our life, the probability of occurrence is not big, more or staged in some overloaded trucks. Therefore, it is the best policy to strengthen the safety inspection of freight cars and prevent traffic accidents from the source.
Of course, driving safety depends not only on the vehicle itself, but also on itself. Master more skills and care, and give yourself and your friends more security.
