Can a Typhoon Blow Away a Car?
2 Answers
Powerful typhoons can indeed blow away cars. It is crucial to always pay attention to car safety. Below is a detailed introduction regarding car safety: Overview: Car safety for vehicles is mainly divided into two major aspects: active safety and passive safety. Active safety involves controlling the car as smoothly as possible. Whether it's braking and accelerating in a straight line or turning left and right, it should be done as smoothly as possible to avoid deviating from the intended path and without affecting the driver's visibility and comfort. Others: The scope of car safety technology is becoming broader and more detailed, developing towards integration, intelligence, systematization, and universalization. Strictly controlling speed during nighttime driving is a fundamental measure to ensure safety.
I've lived by the coast and experienced several strong typhoons, witnessing firsthand how wind can blow cars away. During one storm, an old sedan parked by the roadside was flipped into a ditch and moved several meters. Typhoon winds can easily exceed 200 kilometers per hour, with enough force to push objects weighing over a thousand kilograms. If your car is lightweight or has a high ground clearance and is parked in an open area, the risk is significant; heavier SUVs or pickup trucks might stay put better, but even they can shift in strong winds. The safest advice is to park your car in an underground garage or near a solid building wall. Avoid driving during a typhoon, and never underestimate the wind's power—it can lift, flip, or carry your car away, leading to accidents. Remember, regularly checking tire pressure and the car's weight distribution can also improve wind resistance. Stay updated with weather warnings to protect yourself and your property.
