Strong gusts are affecting your vehicle on an exposed high-speed road. What response best helps maintain control?
Correct answer: Slow down, leave more space and keep a firm grip on the wheel.
Why
Slow down, increase following space and hold the wheel firmly while keeping your course. Be alert near bridges, tunnels and large vehicles, where wind effects can change. Avoid unnecessary passing and do not move onto the shoulder as a routine response to wind.
