Vantai24h – Date 10/17/2015 – The transporting distance between Hanoi and Phu Tho is about 75 kilometers. Despite the beautiful roads and smooth traffic, transporting in stormy weather with rain and coziness may cause many difficulties to drivers.
The cold weather with low temperature, heavy rains and monsoon may result in the high decrease in drivers’ visibility. Besides, the large difference between the outside and inside temperature of the car also makes car windows less clear. This requires drivers to equip themselves with experience of handling situations not only in the cabin but also on the road to ensure safe and efficient journeys. Transport 24h Co.Ltd would like to share some experience with drivers as followed:
The first thing is to check your tires regularly. Before starting your working days, before opening the cabin door, drivers should take a look at tires to see if there are any problems with them. This should be considered as an indispensable habit, especially in rainy weather. When driving in the rain, the friction between car tires and the road surface always decrease so the level of slipping also increases. Therefore, when car tires are worn out, drivers may face to potential risks on the road. Replacing tires when necessary would help drivers to control their vehicles more confidently in the rain.
Secondly, when the visibility is limited due to heavy rain, drivers can turn on the warning lights and the cooling system and keep the volume of radio suitable enough to listen and keep the safe distance between cars. In the meantime, turning the lights to increase the visibility for yourself on the road. Because of the difference between the temperature outside and inside the car, you should switch on the cooling system to balance the temperature and protect car windows from blurring.
Thirdly, drivers need to keep a suitable distance from front cars, limit abrupt stops and drive with legal speed. You also need to observe the car mirrors, keep away from full size containers and pay attention to motorbikes. You should only overtake if the safety and convenient conditions are ensured.
Before setting off for each journey, whether the weather is good or not, drivers always have to complete their jobs. However, experience which is accumulated from reality, stories with other colleagues will help drivers manipulate more skillfully and bring efficiency and optimum services to customers.
