How to drive in windy weather

When driving in windy weather, due to the effect of the wind, the driving of the vehicle drops smoothly. At the same time, flying dust will block the line of sight and affect the driver's normal observation and judgment. At this time, the braking distance will increase relatively, and the unsafe braking area will increase. If the wind is too strong, it is easy to make the vehicle slip or roll over. Special reminder to drivers and friends, drive carefully in windy weather, safety first. Let's take a look at the main points of driving in windy weather! How to drive in windy weather?

1. Before going out in windy weather, check whether the window sealing strip is aging, degumming and cracking in advance, and make preparations in advance, so that when the wind blows, the raised dust will not get into the car uninvited and make the owner's face dull. Of course, when driving in the wind, it is necessary to close the windows, including the skylight. If the air conditioner is turned on, it is only internal circulation and there is no gas exchange with the outside world.

2. When driving in strong wind, you should reduce the speed appropriately, correctly identify the wind direction, and hold the steering wheel tightly to prevent the driving route from deviating due to the wind. Pay attention to the lateral stability of the vehicle and minimize overtaking. If you are driving against the wind, you should pay attention to the sudden change of wind direction or the large curvature of the road. A sudden decrease in wind resistance will suddenly increase the speed. When driving, pedestrians should be prevented from suddenly running across the road when the vehicle approaches to avoid the dust raised by the vehicle.

3. When turning in strong wind, turn on the small light in front and honk the horn if necessary to attract the attention of pedestrians and vehicles, move slowly, and be ready to brake and stop at any time.

4. When driving at night in windy days, you should use anti-glare low beam lights instead of high beam lights, so as not to affect the line of sight due to dazzling light curtains.

5. When encountering a particularly large sandstorm, park the car on the windward side of the road, with the front of the car facing away from the sandstorm, and half close the shutters to prevent tiny sand particles from being sucked into the cylinder by the engine and accelerate the wear and tear of parts. The truck should be fastened with tarpaulin and the goods should be fixed on the truck; When loading light and bulky materials, stop to avoid the storm, so as to avoid the vehicle being blown away by the storm and deviating from the normal driving route.

Matters needing attention in high-speed driving in windy weather

1, make full preparations.

Driving on the expressway, I don't know much about the influence of crosswind in advance. Due to insufficient psychological preparation, when a strong crosswind is suddenly encountered at the tunnel entrance or viaduct, the car will suddenly deviate from the driving direction, causing panic and endangering driving safety!

2. Control the speed.

The influence of crosswind on automobile driving will increase rapidly with the increase of driving speed. For example, under the action of crosswind with the same intensity, the lateral deviation occurs at the driving speed of 100km/h, which is nearly four times greater than the driving speed of 50 km/h, so it can be seen that the influence of crosswind is directly proportional to the vehicle speed!

Step 3 stay away from the trolley

When a large car full of goods is driving at high speed in windy days, the goods on the car will swing, loosen or even fall off under the action of wind. So before you leave the car, you should tie up the goods. The goods falling from the car will also threaten the safety of the vehicles behind, so try to avoid driving behind the vehicles full of goods in windy weather. Even if you have to follow, you should pay attention to distance!

Self-inspection method of vehicles after strong wind

1, check the wiper blade

After the car has experienced dusty weather, there will be a lot of pebbles and dust in the wiper. If it is not cleaned in time, the windshield may be scratched when the wiper is turned on again.

Step 2 clean the filter

Please clean the air filter and air conditioner filter of the vehicle in time after the windy season, because the strong wind will let dust and even leaves enter the filter, which will affect the normal use of the vehicle.

3. If the car is blocked after the gale, or you forget to close the window, it's time to clean the interior. When cleaning the interior, the owner should use a special soft cloth and detergent, instead of wiping the interior with a rag to wipe the body. The interior of a car is not the body. If you are not careful, it is easy to scratch the inside because of small particles.
