How to drive at high speed in windy weather

It is windy in summer and autumn. In windy weather, the wind is strong enough to push people away, and it will also hinder driving. Straight wind will make it difficult for vehicles to move forward, while crosswind will easily make vehicles deviate from the direction. Therefore, drivers and friends must grasp the speed and direction and beware of accidents. How to drive in windy weather in expressway? Let's have a look. Matters needing attention in driving in windy weather in expressway

1, make full preparations.

When driving on expressway, if you don't know the influence of crosswind in advance and lack of mental preparation, once you encounter strong crosswind at the tunnel entrance or viaduct (these places are most likely to encounter crosswind), the car will suddenly deviate from the original driving direction, which will inevitably cause panic and even endanger driving safety.

2, speed control should be appropriate.

The influence of crosswind on automobile driving increases rapidly with the increase of driving speed. For example, under the action of crosswind with the same intensity, when the driving speed is 100km/h, the lateral deviation is almost four times that when the driving speed is 50 km/h, in other words, the influence of crosswind is almost proportional to the square of the vehicle speed.

3, the goods should be tied firmly.

When a large vehicle full of goods is driving at high speed in windy weather, the goods on the vehicle may swing, loosen or even fall off the vehicle under the action of wind. Therefore, before leaving the car, the goods must be tied firmly to prevent falling off. The goods dropped from the car seriously threaten the driving safety of the following vehicles, which often makes the following vehicles too old to take evasive measures, leading to accidents. Try to avoid following the car when it is windy. Even if you have to follow the car, you should keep your distance.

3. The disposal situation should be calm.

There is no need to panic when a vehicle suddenly encounters a crosswind attack while driving on the expressway. You should pay attention to the change of vehicle direction and turn the steering wheel back to correct it properly. In this way, even if you encounter a crosswind of about 8, as long as you calmly deal with it, it will not be very dangerous. If you try to correct the direction of the car immediately and turn the steering wheel sharply, you will be in danger of an accident.
