What to pay attention to when driving in a strong wind

When driving against the wind, pay attention to the sudden change of wind direction or the large curvature of the road. The sudden decrease of wind resistance will cause the speed of the vehicle to increase suddenly. When driving, pedestrians should be prevented from suddenly running to the opposite side of the road when the vehicle is approaching, so as not to be raised by the vehicle to raise dust.

Next, let's take a look at driving skills in windy weather.

When driving in windy weather, pay special attention to wind direction, wind speed, whether there are sandstorms, etc., in order to drive safely. Here are some good tips to share with you.

When driving in a strong wind, you should slow down appropriately, correctly identify the wind direction, hold the steering wheel tightly, and prevent the driving route from being changed due to the wind. Pay attention to the lateral stability of the vehicle, minimize overtaking, and prolong the time for honking the horn appropriately.

When driving, pedestrians should be prevented from suddenly running to the opposite side of the road when the vehicle is approaching, so as not to be raised by the vehicle to raise dust.

When turning in windy and sandy weather, the small headlights should be turned on and the horn should be honked frequently to attract the attention of pedestrians and vehicles. Drive slowly and be ready to brake and stop at any time.

When driving at night on a windy day, you should use anti-glare low-beam headlights instead of high-beam headlights, so as not to be dazzled by the light curtain and affect your vision.

When the wind and sand are particularly strong, the car should be parked on the windward side of the road, with the front of the car facing away from the wind and sand, and the shutters should be half closed to prevent the inhalation of fine sand from the engine into the cylinder, which will accelerate the wear of parts.

Cargo-carrying vehicles should fasten tarpaulins on the vehicle and fix the goods on the vehicle; when loading light and large-scale materials, they should stop to avoid the wind, so as to prevent the vehicle from being blown away by the storm and deviate from the normal driving route.

Precautions

1. When following a car on a dusty road, pay attention to maintaining a safe distance between the car and the car to prevent the dust raised by the car in front from obstructing the line of sight.

2. Bicycles, tricycles, motorcycles, etc. are less stable under the action of wind, and the safety distance should be increased when encountering each other.

3. When driving in windy weather in the rocky pile area, pay attention to small stones often rolling onto the road, causing harm to people and vehicles.

4. The abnormal climate in the desert area makes driving difficult, which will also cause harm to vehicle parts and goods. It is necessary to keep abreast of the local weather conditions and choose a good driving route and time.
