Driving in a level 7 wind is dangerous. Vehicles moving in such conditions are affected by crosswinds, especially lighter cars with larger side profiles, which are more susceptible. The faster the car travels, the stronger the crosswind effect becomes. Here are more details: 1. Driving is not recommended in typhoons above level 5. If a typhoon warning has been issued, it's best to avoid driving. 2. A moving car is much less capable of resisting a typhoon compared to a stationary one. 3. When driving on highways, overpasses, or other open areas, the wind is unobstructed and stronger than elsewhere, significantly increasing the risk of skidding or, in severe cases, rollovers.

Having driven heavy trucks for over a decade, encountering a level 7 wind really requires full concentration. At this wind speed, you can clearly feel the steering wheel wrestling with the gusts, especially when crossing sea bridges or open highways. If the canvas cover on the truck isn't securely fastened, it can be lifted right off and cover the windshield. It's advisable to reduce speed below 60 km/h, grip the steering wheel firmly with both hands, and be ready to correct the direction at any moment. For long hauls, I always keep two counterweight blocks in the toolbox—vehicles with lighter bodies need extra caution, as strong winds can literally push the entire truck out of its lane. If you notice the vehicle becoming uncontrollably light, immediately turn on the hazard lights and pull over slowly.
