Question 3048

Why is wind from the right dangerous when passing large vehicles?

  1. Because I could lose control of the vehicle and leave the roadway.
  2. Because it prevents me from seeing the roadway.
  3. Because it slows my vehicle down and prevents me from passing.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because I could lose control of the vehicle and leave the roadway.

The large vehicle acts as a shield, temporarily blocking the force of the wind. After you pass it, the wind acts on your vehicle again and may destabilize it enough to cause it to leave the roadway.
