What Should You Pay Attention to When Driving on Windy Days?

[DeHector]

Drive slowly to prevent vehicle deviation and try to avoid large vehicles. Here are the precautions to take when driving on windy days: 1. Visibility is reduced on windy days, so drive slowly to prevent the vehicle from deviating. While driving, correctly identify the wind direction, slow down appropriately, hold the steering wheel firmly, and prevent the driving path from shifting due to wind force. When driving against the wind, be aware of sudden changes in wind direction or sharp bends in the road to prevent a sudden decrease in wind resistance and a rapid increase in speed. Maintain the vehicle's lateral stability and minimize overtaking. 2. Try to avoid large or special vehicles. On windy days, the wind resistance coefficient is high, and oversized, extra-long, or extra-wide vehicles are easily swayed by the wind. Cargo on these vehicles can easily be blown off and obstruct visibility. 3. When driving in strong winds, remember to keep the windows closed. Drivers using air conditioning should switch to recirculation mode to avoid drawing outside air into the vehicle.
