Driving in strong wind conditions will result in great resistance, making vehicle control undesirable.

Therefore, drivers must concentrate and pay attention to any unexpected situations that may occur to ensure safety.

Turn on low beams and avoid high speed driving.

When driving in stormy weather, it is best for drivers to turn on their headlights or fog lights. This will help drivers have better visibility and help other vehicles easily know where your vehicle is so they can avoid it and keep a safe distance.

When you need to brake, you should brake from a distance with moderate braking force, do not brake suddenly. Because when braking suddenly or braking hard, the car will lose traction, causing danger to yourself and others around.

Keep a safe distance

To promptly handle unexpected situations that occur in stormy conditions, drivers should not follow the vehicle in front too closely, avoid situations where the vehicle in front brakes suddenly or swerves to avoid unexpected obstacles.

Shift to low gear and keep the throttle steady.

One driving skill that should be applied in windy conditions is to shift the car into a low gear. Because when the car is running in a low gear, the traction will be at a high level. This helps the car to overcome obstacles as well as overcome headwinds or can accelerate when needed.

Keep a safe speed

In storms, the driver's vision is easily limited, many unexpected situations occur, so the ability to handle situations is much more limited. Therefore, you should not drive fast, instead, maintain a reasonable speed.

Drivers traveling on the road in windy weather should be careful not to stop or park next to large trees that can easily break or fall, affecting the life and property of the driver.

Focus on observation

When driving in stormy weather, you need to pay close attention to the front and sides to handle any unexpected situations in a timely manner. If you need to change lanes or turn, you must carefully observe behind, turn on your signal lights and change lanes or turn slowly. Absolutely do not turn the steering wheel, change lanes or turn suddenly, and do not overtake other vehicles when there is a strong wind.

Avoid driving close to or parallel to large vehicles.

An important skill when driving in windy weather is to absolutely not drive close to or parallel to large vehicles. Because in normal driving conditions, driving close to or parallel to large trucks, container trucks, etc. is already very dangerous, but in windy weather conditions it is even more dangerous because the risk of losing control can easily occur.
