How to drive safely on the expressway in windy weather

It's windy in summer, so drive carefully in this weather. It is difficult for pedestrians to hear the whistle, so drive slowly and pay attention to avoid pedestrians. Stay away from buildings or tall billboards when driving and parking in windy weather to prevent falling objects from hitting vehicles and causing accidents; Driving at high speed under strong wind, the car is easy to deviate, pay attention to slow down! After a strong wind, the car body is usually covered with a layer of silt. When cleaning these, you should prevent scratching the car paint. Wash the mud with water first, and then scrub the car body with a car wash towel. Pay attention to the scrubbing process, and don't let the sand in the towel scratch the car paint.

In windy weather, the strongest influence on driving safety is the strong wind blowing from the side. If the strong wind suddenly acts on the car from the side, it is enough to make the small car with smaller weight obviously deviate from the original driving direction. Therefore, the following points should be paid attention to when driving on the expressway in windy weather:

(1) The disposal situation should be calm. When the vehicle is driving on the expressway, there is no need to panic when the crosswind suddenly strikes. You should pay attention to the change of vehicle direction and turn the steering wheel backwards to correct it. In this way, even if you encounter a crosswind of about 8, there will be no great danger as long as you calmly deal with it. If you try to correct the direction of the car immediately and turn the steering wheel sharply in a hurry, you will be in danger of an accident.

(2) the speed should be properly controlled. With the increase of driving speed, the influence of crosswind on vehicle driving increases rapidly. For example, under the action of crosswind with the same intensity, the lateral deviation at the speed of 100 km/h is almost four times that at the speed of 50 km/h, that is to say, the influence of crosswind is almost proportional to the square of vehicle speed.

(3) For large vehicles loaded with goods, the goods should be fastened. When driving at high speed in windy weather, the goods on the car may shake, loosen or even fall off the car. Therefore, before leaving the car, you must tie the goods tightly to prevent them from falling off. The goods falling from the car seriously threaten the driving safety of the following car, which often leads to accidents because the following car is too old to take evasive measures. When it is windy, try to avoid following a cart full of goods. Even if you have to follow, pay attention to the distance.

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