The wind is blowing in gusts from the right-hand side. When is it most dangerous?
Safe driving
Explanation
Driving with **strong wind** is especially dangerous, as it can cause the vehicle to lose control, overturn, or veer off the road. This risk increases when the wind blows from the side.
- **Overtaking a large vehicle** is one of the most dangerous situations with side wind. This is because the large vehicle can momentarily block the wind, and upon exiting its shadow, the wind can suddenly hit your vehicle, destabilizing it.
- It is important to **maintain a good lateral separation** when overtaking, especially in windy conditions, to avoid any danger.
To mitigate these risks, it is recommended to drive more slowly, hold the steering wheel firmly and in the opposite direction of the wind, and keep the windows closed.
