What Level of Wind Can Move a Car?
1 Answers
Different cars have varying abilities to withstand typhoons, with most vehicles able to endure wind levels between 12 and 14. Resistance Capacity: Different parts of the same car have different typhoon resistance levels. The car body's sheet metal is much stronger against typhoons compared to the windshield and side windows. Generally, a car's sheet metal can withstand typhoons above level 18, while the windows may crack at level 15. When typhoon winds reach level 15 or higher, the car can be blown away, and an 18-level typhoon can lift the car into the air, causing it to tumble. Recommendations: Taking a sedan as an example, a stationary car can typically withstand a level 14 typhoon, while a moving car may lose control in a level 12 typhoon. Therefore, it is best to avoid driving during a typhoon. Precautions: During a typhoon, it is advisable to park the car in an underground garage. If a garage is not available, park the car in an open area with a clear view. Avoid parking under billboards, trees, or temporary structures.
