Can a Level 10 Wind Blow a Car Away?
1 Answers
Whether a level 10 wind can blow a car away depends on the car's weight, shape, and wind-exposed area. For example, an unloaded small van with its side exposed to the wind can be blown away instantly, whereas a heavily loaded truck remains as stable as Mount Tai. Additional Information: Tips for Driving During a Typhoon: 1. Maintain good visibility: Use low beams, clearance lights, front and rear position lights, and hazard warning lights appropriately. 2. Drive slowly in low gear: Use second or third gear and maintain a speed not exceeding 30 or 40 km/h, always paying attention to the distance between your car and others. 3. Prevent wheel skidding: Hold the steering wheel with both hands to maintain straight and slow driving. When turning, brake gently to avoid tire lock-up and skidding. 4. Avoid hitting pedestrians: Drivers should slow down, honk frequently, and patiently yield. If necessary, choose a safe spot to park. Avoid rushing and competing with pedestrians and cyclists to prevent accidents. 5. Beware of falling objects: Stay away from outdoor billboards and check for flower pots or debris from upper floors. Also, keep a safe distance from rusty outdoor air conditioning units. 6. Prevent water submersion: If the water level exceeds half the tire height, avoid driving through as it may cause water to enter the exhaust pipe. When driving through flooded areas, maintain low speed to prevent water splashing onto the engine's electrical components, which could lead to stalling.
