Can You Open the Sunroof on the Highway?
1 Answers
It is not advisable to open the sunroof on the highway. Driving with the windows open at high speeds poses significant safety hazards. Here are the reasons why it is not recommended to open windows while driving on the highway: 1. Increased fuel consumption: At high speeds, the car's streamlined shape helps reduce wind resistance. However, opening the windows disrupts this aerodynamics, increasing air resistance and consequently raising fuel consumption. 2. Increased noise: Opening windows at high speeds significantly increases wind noise, reducing comfort. 3. Interior gets dirty: Driving with windows open on the highway allows dust to accumulate easily on the interior and ceiling. 4. Increased risk of accidents: Speeds on highways are typically around 120 km/h, and many drivers store luggage or tools in the trunk. Open windows can create uneven wind pressure, potentially leading to accidents.
