It will affect driving stability. The following is an introduction about automobiles: 1. Introduction: According to the latest national standard "Terms and Definitions of Automobiles and Trailers" (GB/T3730.1—2001) in China, an automobile is defined as a non-track vehicle driven by power, with 4 or more wheels, mainly used for: transporting people and/or goods; towing vehicles that carry people and/or goods; and special purposes. 2. Brands: Domestic automobile brands include: Hongqi, Chang'an, Great Wall, Chery, Geely, Roewe, BYD, etc. Foreign automobile brands include: Toyota, Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Kia, Peugeot, Cadillac, etc.
Driving in 6 to 7-grade winds can be really challenging, especially when the gusts make the car sway noticeably. With over a decade of driving experience, I’ve encountered such weather several times. Once on the highway, the wind was so strong that the steering wheel felt hard to turn, and the car was pushed sideways, nearly scraping the guardrail. The scariest part is debris blown onto the road—branches, plastic bags flying into the windshield, doubling the danger. My advice is to immediately slow down to 40–50 km/h, maintain a safe distance, and avoid sudden lane changes or overtaking. If the wind is extremely fierce, pull over at a service area or safe spot and wait for it to calm down—never push through. Safety first. Also, check your tires and overall vehicle condition to ensure good grip. Remember, keep the sunroof and windows closed on windy days to avoid dust getting inside.
