Visibility and Road Hazards
You are driving in strong crosswinds and a lorry overtakes you. What effect should you anticipate?
- A No effect on the trajectory
- ✓ A wind-block and then a gust that can push the vehicle off line
- 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.
