Pay attention to lateral stability

Safe driving skills in windy days

When driving in windy weather, pay special attention to the wind direction, wind speed and whether there is sandstorm, so as to drive safely. Here are some good suggestions to share with you.

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, minimize overtaking and prolong the time when whistling.

When driving against the wind, you should pay attention to the sudden change of wind direction or the large curvature of the road, and the sudden decrease of 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.

When turning in a windy and dusty day, turn on the headlights and honk the horn frequently to attract the attention of pedestrians and vehicles, move slowly, and be ready to brake and stop at any time.

When driving at night in windy days, you should use anti-glare low beam lights instead of high beam lights to avoid affecting your sight due to dazzling light curtains.

When the sandstorm is particularly serious, the car should be parked on the windward side of the road, with the front of the car facing away from the sandstorm and the shutters half open to prevent fine sand particles from being sucked into the cylinder by the engine and accelerate the wear 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

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

2. Bicycles, tricycles, motorcycles, etc. Because of the influence of wind, the stability is poor, so when they meet, the safety distance should be increased.

3. When driving in windy weather in the rock pile area, you should pay attention to the fact that pebbles often roll onto the road, injuring people and vehicles.

4. The abnormal climate in desert area makes driving difficult, and it will also cause damage to vehicle parts and loaded goods. It is necessary to know the local weather in time and choose a good driving route and time.
