On some days, the thermometer is already approaching the 30-degree mark. Professional drivers face particular challenges in such weather conditions. Those who drive a commercial vehicle must therefore not only take good care of themselves. Tyres are also at risk of damage on hot days.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Time and again, road users underestimate the potential danger in extreme weather conditions. We know from experience that heat, road works, traffic jams and delivery pressure are a combustible mixture that often pushes people and material to their limits,&#8221; says Jarno Bor, Managing Director at 24\/7 ASSISTANCE.<\/p>\n<p>Before starting to drive, it is therefore particularly important to check the tyre pressure regularly. If the thermometer climbs significantly above 30 degrees Celsius for a longer period of time, the asphalt temperature can rise up to 60 degrees. This makes the tyres softer. If the air pressure is not correct, they wear out faster, overheat and can even catch fire. Heat rule number one is therefore: Check the inflation pressure on the cold tyres and spare wheels every fortnight at the latest and look out for damage.<\/p>\n<p>If a tyre bursts while driving, this can be recognised by a loud, explosive bang, flinging parts and a noticeable smoke development. To avoid an accident in such a situation, brake as quickly as possible but in a controlled manner and pull over to the side of the road. Full braking should be avoided in all circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Another danger of prolonged hot spells are blow-ups. They occur within a very short time when the heat causes the road surface to crack and the asphalt to bulge. Blow-ups can be fatal if the sudden unevenness of the road causes a driver to jerk the steering wheel in fright and drift into the adjacent lane or into oncoming traffic. The danger is particularly great on motorways that consist mainly of concrete slabs. For this reason, the following applies: drive with foresight, keep a sufficient distance and listen to the traffic radio on the radio. There are regular warnings about blow-ups.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How truck drivers keep a cool head<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even without special incidents such as a flat tyre, it is important for truck drivers to keep a cool head even in stressful situations on hot days. Among other things, it is helpful to set the air conditioning correctly. If the driver&#8217;s cab is cooled too much, there is a risk of circulatory problems over the long run. For this reason, the air conditioning should never be set lower than six degrees below the outside temperature.<\/p>\n<p>In order to manage a longer journey even on warm days, it is important for all drivers to get enough and good sleep before their trip. Heat and poor sleep impair concentration and increase the risk of accidents. If it is difficult to fall asleep, a daily sleep routine such as going for a walk will help. The body switches more easily into sleep mode through the habituation effect.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to eating and drinking, the following applies: Too heavy, fatty and rich meals make you tired. Light meals with lots of fruit, salad or raw vegetables, smaller portions and sufficient fluids are ideal in hot weather.<\/p>\n<p>Caution is advised with headaches, dizziness, lightheadedness or nausea. In these cases, stop immediately, get into the shade, drink fluids and, in an emergency, call a doctor. On the motorway, the emergency call boxes offer quick help.<\/p>\n<p>Should a breakdown occur despite all precautions, the 24\/7 ASSISTANCE emergency hotline can be reached throughout Europe around the clock at +43 505 0247365. In addition to the tyre size and position, it is important to indicate any consequential damage to the electrics, shock absorbers, rims or air bellows in order to ensure rapid breakdown assistance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2njgl5-df8073d5715bc36c60637e1244f627c8\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-2njgl5-df8073d5715bc36c60637e1244f627c8{\nheight:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-2njgl5-df8073d5715bc36c60637e1244f627c8 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_button '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-kz6rzyd3-6ceb6e81467ca2f2cb0c6f41a57c09af-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '><a href='https:\/\/24seven-assistance.com\/en\/the-company\/press\/'  class='avia-button av-kz6rzyd3-6ceb6e81467ca2f2cb0c6f41a57c09af av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-right-icon avia-size-small avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"to the press overview\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >to the press overview<\/span><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_right avia-iconfont avia-font-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue800' data-av_iconfont='fontello' ><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-20wcg9-98ec94e87f759463cdd54ccc6f1116c7\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-20wcg9-98ec94e87f759463cdd54ccc6f1116c7{\nheight:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-20wcg9-98ec94e87f759463cdd54ccc6f1116c7 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_button  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_2'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-2236'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is on its way!
