What is the correct procedure when a vehicle rolls over?
1 Answers
When a vehicle suddenly rolls over, the driver should firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands, hook their feet onto the pedals, and press their back tightly against the seat backrest to stabilize their body and avoid injuries from impacts inside the vehicle. Additionally, care should be taken to prevent being crushed due to vehicle deformation. If the vehicle continues rolling into a deep ditch, the driver should quickly move their body to the lower front of the seat, hold onto the steering wheel or other stable parts to secure themselves, and avoid injury from rolling. Below are some driving precautions: 1. Check mirrors: Always use turn signals and slow down when turning or changing lanes; always check the mirrors before turning. Left turns primarily require checking the left mirror, right turns the right mirror, and both turns should involve checking the interior rearview mirror. 2. Avoid fixating on the front of the vehicle: When driving on clear roads, look straight ahead about 100 meters, not just at the immediate front of the vehicle. 3. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there's no need to depress the clutch immediately; wait until the speed drops to around 20 km/h before doing so. 4. Steering: Turn the wheel slowly for high-speed turns and quickly for low-speed turns.
