How to drive a mining dump truck on rainy days? When driving a mining dump truck in rainy weather, safety must be paid attention to. So how should one drive on rainy days?
- Drive slowly and cautiously: The braking distance on muddy and watery roads can be three times that of normal roads. Therefore, regardless of road conditions, the speed should be controlled within 40-60 km/h. For unfamiliar roads, follow the path taken by the vehicle ahead.
- Maintain a safe distance between vehicles: Always monitor the distance from vehicles in front and behind, and increase the safety distance. Keep away from large vehicles. First, they may block your view; second, small vehicles may not be able to pass through the water that large vehicles can traverse, and large vehicles are likely to splash water, which can interfere with the driving of small vehicles.
- Prevent tire skidding: In rainy weather, tire friction decreases, making skidding more likely. Do not brake suddenly or sharply turn the steering wheel when cornering. Instead, use the “point braking” method to decelerate in a straight line before entering the curve.
