Weather, Visibility & EmergenciesStandalone practice
On a very windy day, you drive out of a sheltered stretch lined with trees onto open prairie, and a large truck is coming toward you. What should you expect?
Correct answer: Sudden gusts may push your car sideways, so hold the wheel firmly and be ready to steer.
Why
Wind can push any vehicle, and gusts often hit hardest where a road leaves shelter such as trees, hills or buildings and enters open country. A large truck or bus passing the other way can also cause a sudden change in the wind. Keep a firm grip, be ready to correct your steering, and pay attention to high-wind advisories before you travel.
