You are driving in strong crosswinds and a lorry overtakes you. What effect should you anticipate?
En español: Circula con viento lateral fuerte y se cruza con un camión que lo adelanta. ¿Qué efecto debe prever?
A
No effect on the trajectory
B
A wind-block and then a gust that can push the vehicle off line
Correct answer
C
That the vehicle gains grip
D
That vehicle stability improves
Why this is the correct answer
In strong crosswinds, when passing or being overtaken by a large vehicle there is first a screening effect that blocks the wind, then a gust as it clears, so you must grip the wheel firmly and correct the trajectory gently.
