Does driving in a level 7-8 wind have any impact?
1 Answers
Driving in level 7 to 8 strong winds is dangerous. Precautions for driving in windy weather are as follows: 1. Keep windows tightly closed in windy weather: When driving in strong winds, first close all windows to prevent sand and dust from entering the vehicle, which could affect the breathing of passengers and obstruct the view of road conditions. In windy weather, road conditions can be more complex, especially on gravel roads where strong winds can stir up sand and debris, affecting the driver's visibility. In such situations, drivers should pay close attention to the road, gripping the steering wheel firmly. 2. Maintain a greater following distance in windy weather: In windy and dusty conditions, avoid driving too close to the vehicle ahead. Always keep a safe distance to allow time and space to handle sudden emergencies. If driving on dirt roads in such harsh weather, avoid tailgating, as the dust blown up by the wind can impair visibility, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions. 3. Choose the appropriate driving lane: When encountering strong winds on highways, try to avoid driving in the fast lane and stay away from the central buffer green belts. It's advisable to drive in the middle lane to prevent accidents caused by boundary markers or signs being blown onto the road from the median. Additionally, be cautious of crosswinds on highways, as they can affect the vehicle's straight-line stability.
