Because semi-trailers differ from main trailers, when turning, you must make sharp turns and wide bends. Pay close attention to the position of the trailer wheels; the trailer's turning angle should be at least one meter greater than the main trailer's. Only in this way can you reverse more effectively and quickly.
When overtaking with a semi-trailer, be careful not to immediately return to the driving lane after passing the vehicle. Because trailers are generally very long, you must leave sufficient distance. This requires skill: after overtaking, observe the side mirrors. Only return to the driving lane when the complete head of the following vehicle is visible in the mirror.
Because trailers have a chance to skid on icy, snowy, or rainy roads, potentially causing the trailer to topple the main trailer, never brake or accelerate suddenly. A word of caution: never use the air brake on icy or slippery roads. Using it will be extremely dangerous, causing the drive wheels to stop rotating, the vehicle to stall, and making it uncontrollable. Please remember this.
Regarding reversing, this requires diligent practice. Generally, it takes at least six months for a semi-trailer driver to become proficient at reversing. The key point here is reversing in the opposite direction and anticipating the wheel return. It should be noted that when reversing a semi-trailer, you should not repeatedly turn the steering wheel, as this is the worst habit and will make it difficult to determine the location of the trailer.
