Is it safe to drive in a level 6 gale?
1 Answers
It is possible to drive in a level 6 gale. However, driving in windy conditions can reduce vehicle stability due to the force of the wind, and flying dust can obstruct visibility, affecting the driver's normal observation and judgment. This can lead to an increased braking distance and a larger non-safe braking zone. If the wind is too strong, it may also cause the vehicle to skid or roll over. We remind all drivers to exercise caution when driving in windy weather and prioritize safety. Here are some driving precautions: 1. Check the rearview mirrors: Always use turn signals and slow down when turning or changing lanes. Before turning, be sure to check the rearview mirrors; left turns mainly require checking the left mirror, right turns mainly the right mirror, and both left and right turns require checking the interior rearview mirror. 2. Don't focus solely on the front of the car: When driving on a clear road, look straight ahead about 100 meters and avoid staring at the immediate front of the car. 3. Depress the clutch: Generally, when decelerating at speeds above 40 km/h, there's no need to depress the clutch first; wait until the speed drops to around 20 km/h before depressing the clutch. 4. Steering: Turn the steering wheel slowly at high speeds and quickly at low speeds.
