In this situation, there is a strong tendency of the vehicle to roll over immediately when the steering wheel is turned slightly or when the median strip is hit. Speed ​​limit control on wide straight roads: Light lorries should not drive at high speed while driving on wide and straight roads like 100 feet road. A heavily laden vehicle's brakes react more slowly than a normal vehicle, so it's imperative to stay within manageable speed limits. Proper fastening and tying of goods: To prevent the loaded load from tipping to one side during transportation, proper tightening and tying of the ropes helps to maintain the balance of the vehicle. Call 1990 Suvasarya Ambulance Service immediately in case of an emergency road accident.
