Why should a driver be alert when meeting or passing a large truck in strong winds?
Correct answer: Changing air forces can make the smaller vehicle unstable.
Why
A large vehicle can alter the air flow around your car, and gusts can change as you move past it. Reduce speed as conditions require, maintain space and hold the steering wheel firmly. Do not assume the truck provides steady shelter or linger close beside it.
