What vehicles should you stay away from on the roads?

On highways, avenues and streets, there is no escape from other road users, but among them there are especially dangerous types of vehicles that most often get into accidents or cause them. From whom it is better to stay away on the roadway, the AvtoVglyad portal figured out.

Motorcycles

Despite the fact that cars can be considered full-fledged owners of the roadway, mopeds and motorcycles remain the most dangerous mode of transport. This is easy to explain - compared to a car, due to their small dimensions, they are more mobile in heavy traffic and more often fall into the “blind zones” of side mirrors and cars, and especially trucks. Two-wheeled vehicles have a minimum of passive safety equipment, while motor vehicles accelerate faster and develop a decent speed. Add more temperament, typical for motorcycle drivers and their passion for adrenaline.

In recent years, there has been a steady increase in accidents involving public transport. More and more often, driving buses, trolleybuses, and especially minibuses, one can see foreign guest workers - immigrants from the Central Asian states. One can only guess about their qualifications and experience. The AvtoVzglyad portal has repeatedly raised the issue of the problem of national certificates that visiting workers change at the traffic police for Russian ones without training in our driving schools and without passing the relevant exams. The technical condition of minibuses also plays a role, which does not always meet safety requirements.

Trucks

Keeping a safe distance is essential with any vehicle, but especially don't breathe down the back of the truck in front. The chances of getting into an accident in such a situation increase significantly. For example, an irreparable situation can be provoked by a huge cobblestone or other large foreign object suddenly appearing from under the truck. Indeed, as a rule, the ground clearance of such a car is much greater than that of an average passenger car, which runs the risk of sitting on its belly. In addition, it is not a fact that all truck drivers strictly follow all safety rules for the transport of goods in an open body. A direct hit of heavy building materials in the windshield from the side of some KAMAZ will also provoke a serious accident.

It is worth staying away from trucks and trucks, and for the reason that due to the high center of gravity they are less stable, and if, for example, a fuel truck or a timber truck overturns, this can lead to a mass accident.

Keep in mind that old and worn out cars that move on their last legs can be considered an increased source of danger on the road. But the most terrible phenomenon on our streets is not technology, but an inadequate driver. After all, the cause of the vast majority of accidents is a human factor, so you can get into an accident on an empty road. And the main condition for safety is still strict observance of the Rules of the road
