<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Rigs, or 18-Wheelers, are massive truck and trailers that weigh an typical of 80,000 pounds. Their purpose is to haul heavy loads for extended distances. Specialist drivers of these rigs are necessary to deliver those loads to a particular location on a particular date. Their job is to stay alert and get the load to its destination on time.<br />
<br />
Side collisions are a single of the most frequent accidents involving rigs. There are blind spots on the sides, in the front, and in the rear of rigs. The driver cannot see other vehicles when they are in those blind spots. Rig drivers should initial make a wide swing to the left in order to negotiate a perfect hand turn otherwise, the rigs tires would hit the curb or any other object that may be in the way. Accidents most regularly take place when there is a car in their blind spot and, when the driver pulls the rig to the left to make the correct hand turn, hits the vehicle and pushes it into a curb, off the road, or into oncoming visitors. This sort of accident can also occur at greater speeds when the driver of a rig modifications lanes on a highway but does not see a car in its blind spot.[http://google.com search engine]<br />
<br />
Jackknifing is 1 of the most risky varieties of accidents. This occurs when the weight of the trailer pushes the cab around until it is facing backwards. While this is happening, the trailer swings out of control into the road exactly where it will smash into any other vehicles in its path. These kinds of accidents generally occur when the roads are slippery, commonly due to rain or snow and ice. <br />
<br />
Rear-end accidents are also widespread. Rigs are rather heavy and it takes them significantly longer to cease than it does an average car. If there is not adequate distance in between the rig and the automobile in front of it for the driver to quit, the rig will crash into the back of that car. These accidents often happen due to driver error. Injuries and deaths are high in accidents of this kind. <br />
<br />
A different frequent accident involving rigs are rollovers. Rigs have a high center of gravity and rollover very easily. The most typical lead to is drivers that go into curves or turns to quickly for road conditions. When this occurs, the rig will slide into or rollover on any object in its path, including other vehicles. <br />
<br />
The leading contributing causes of these accidents, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, is driver error due to fatigue, inattention, and use of prescription or over-the-counter drugs. Other causes incorporate aggressive driving, such as tail gating or speeding, and improperly loaded cargo. When the majority of rig drivers are qualified and practice secure driving, accidents do take place.</div>WaitersAddison209
