Cause incidenti stradali e come prevenirli: Sorpasso dei TIR in autostrada.

[Music] Unpredictable? Let's find out together The causes: [Music] - false distances in the left mirror of the truck - too fast lane change of the truck - failure to signal change lane. [Music] A situation that can happen to us but can the accident be avoided? Yes, of course, but you need driving experience. Overtaking will be tough Overtaking between long and heavy vehicles equipped with trailers is a complex maneuver that requires skill and close attention. In the guide it is therefore necessa

ry to keep in mind some factors that we analyze below. Trucks and articulated lorries are vehicles of considerable mass, even much more than 12 tons, therefore with very slow acceleration and recovery capacity. They are equipped with a speed limiter which does not allow them to exceed 90 km per hour. For overtaking, they can only occupy the second lane, for the shortest possible time necessary to complete the maneuver and limiting the hindrance to other faster vehicles. The phase of joining the

vehicle to be overtaken in the second lane takes a long time since the speed difference between the two is minimal. So the time required to complete the maneuver is considerable. [Music] [Music] [Music] View from inside the cockpit. Before moving to the left, the driver gets as close as possible to the truck he wants to overtake to limit the time spent in the overtaking lane. This is an unmistakable signal of intention to overtake. Rear left side view. The left side mirror cannot see the first l

ane because the trailer is wider than the tractor unit so the driver does not see the vehicles behind him until they move into the second lane. It also fakes the distances by stretching them. Remember this for your safety. Rear right side view. The right side mirror is essential for returning to the right without cutting off the vehicle you just overtook, taking into account the length of the trailer. Let's go back to our incident. Yellow car. [Music] She moved into the fast lane early enough to

be seen by the two trucks she intends to overtake. However, it does not foresee that the first truck wants to overtake with a sudden manoeuvre, without signaling with the direction indicator. The yellow car cannot even move with an emergency maneuver into the third lane because the green car arrives. The impact is inevitable [Music]. How to avoid the accident. We must move to the second lane when we are still far from the trucks we want to overtake in order to have a better perspective view and

make ourselves more visible from them. [Music] If the two trucks are very close, the first is almost certainly about to overtake the second and maybe he won't signal the lane change with a direction indicator [Music] [Music] Make sure you have the third lane free to make the maneuver emergency because you would no longer be able to brake to avoid a collision. [Music] These are the tips of the experienced driver [Music] Good driving
