When reversing a semi-trailer, the steering wheel turns in the opposite direction to the reversing direction of a single vehicle.

I believe that many people have obtained a car driver's license. In this process, they must have encountered many difficulties, and everyone has their own little tricks. Today I will tell you a reversing skill for other cars, the reversing skill of a semi-trailer:

The tips for reversing a semi-trailer are:

1. When reversing a semi-trailer, the steering wheel turns in the opposite direction to the reversing direction of a single vehicle.

2. Reduce the speed on sharp bends.

3. On a left-hand bend, the front outer side of the semi-trailer rushes out of the tractor.

4. On a right-hand bend, the inner and rear sides of the semi-trailer are close to the center line of the road.

5. Don't be impatient when reversing backwards, be sure to observe the rearview mirror and find a good sense of distance and direction of the car.

Specific skills for reversing semi-trailers:

1. When the semi-trailer is parallel to the adjacent vehicle, make sure that it is about 1 meter away from the adjacent vehicle. After confirming that it is safe behind, reverse in a straight line and stop when the rear bumpers of the vehicles are parallel.

2. Turn the steering wheel right and reverse to the target position. When the car stops, turn the steering wheel to the right. Slightly relax the brake pedal and use the creeping function of the semi-trailer to reverse. Stop when the left side of the vehicle body reaches a point on the extended straight line.

3. Turn the steering wheel left, reverse after the tire is straightened. When the car stops, turn the steering wheel to straighten the tire; reverse slowly in a straight line, and stop reversing when the left rear wheel reaches the white line outside the parking space.

4. Move the vehicle to the right, turn the steering wheel of the semi-trailer to the left, and slowly back up; before the vehicle is parallel to the road shoulder, turn the vehicle back to the center, and park the vehicle in a position parallel to the road shoulder (the semi-trailer is a large vehicle, so be careful not to bump into it when parking, and avoid colliding with the vehicle behind).
