Flip-flops are also convenient to cool off. In hot weather, many tanker drivers like to wear flip-flops to work and even drive. In case of emergency, because the slippers did not keep up, almost barefoot on the brake, because the force is not used, the car is easy to lose control.
Reminder: look at the shoes on the feet before driving, and the driver of the tank truck is not a few people who wear sandals to drive, which is very dangerous. In the event of an emergency, if the slippers do not follow the foot when stepping on the accelerator or brake, it is likely to delay the braking time and cause an accident. It is recommended that tanker drivers who like to wear sandals put a pair of flat shoes in the car and change them when driving, and do not put the shoes on the front seat.
Tired driving
(Risk factor: ★★★★★)
Summer temperature is high, physical exertion is large, sleep is often insufficient at night, and people are easy to get tired and doze off at noon.

Wear dark sunglasses
(Risk factor: ★★★☆☆)
In summer, driving in the hot sun, the eyes often feel tired. Many tanker drivers like to wear dark sunglasses to block the sun and protect their eyes. Dark sunglasses can block out harsh light, but they also affect vision. When the tunnel mouth, due to the sudden darkening of the light, coupled with dark sunglasses, its vision is affected, it is easy to hit pedestrians or other vehicles, and a safety accident occurs.
Reminder: The dark color of sunglasses should not be too deep The dark color of sunglasses can delay the time when the eyes send the image to the brain, and this visual delay causes the speed sensation distortion, so that the rider wearing sunglasses makes the wrong judgment.

Put your hand out the window
(Risk factor: ★★★☆☆)
Driving on the road, often see the good driving skills of the free car friends will reach the left hand out of the car. Even more dangerous, some driver friends will suddenly poke their heads out of the window to spit, causing people to break out in a cold sweat.

The cushion on the seat is not fixed
(Risk factor: ★★★★☆)
Summer has arrived, many tanker drivers began to think about adding a set of cool cushions to the car. Some drivers, greedy for convenience, only add a cool mat to the original driving position. The tanker driver Mr. Zhao is like this, looking at the cool cushion on the sofa at home, he directly took it and put it on the car, and it is not fixed. Once, when the sudden emergency braking, because the cool pad and the seat are separated, in the inertial forward slide, Mr. Zhao's entire body also follows the cool pad forward slide. Fortunately, it was not fast at that time, but it had made him break out in a cold sweat.
Remind: Remember to fix the cushion in the driving position on the cool mat, if it is fixed there is nothing wrong, but if the cushion is active, when the situation requires emergency braking, the inertia of the body forward is easy to make people slip from the seat, especially some drivers who do not love to wear seat belts.
