If you drive a car or travel in a car, you should definitely know this life-saving hack. This is something that you can learn in a minute and it will surely be useful for the rest of your life.
Whenever you drive behind the trucks(or big vehicles), always maintain a distance of 20–30 meters from them in the cities and 80–120 meters on highways.
Many of you would be like, “What bullshit? We already know this.” But wait, there is something more to this that you must be aware of.
Here are the pictures of two trucks. Can you point out the difference between the two?
2.
The first truck has a rear bumper shield but the second one doesn’t have.
Suppose you are driving behind these trucks and you are very close to them. If the truck driver applies the brakes suddenly, you will have very less distance to prevent your vehicle from bumping into the truck. What will happen if you bump into the trucks?
Scenario 1:
(Driving behind the 1st truck)
If you bump into the truck, the shield will prevent your car from getting under the truck and if your car has airbags, they will be activated and your life will be saved.
Scenario 2:
(Driving behind the 2nd truck)
As you can see, the second truck doesn’t have any shield on its rear bumper. Any Indian Sedan and Hatchback can easily go under the truck during a crash. If you bump into the truck, your car will go under the truck and it will directly impact on your windshield. In this case, even your airbags won’t be deployed because the airbags’ sensors are present in the front bumper and your bumper would not even detect that an accident has taken place with the car.
Always take extra precautions while riding behind big vehicles. Apply this method and you will reach your home safely. All Accidents Are Preventable.
