Question 4489

Wind is blowing in gusts from the right side. When is it most dangerous?

  1. When I am passing a large vehicle.
  2. When a large vehicle is passing me.
  3. When I am driving behind a large vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: When I am passing a large vehicle.

With wind from the right, you steer slightly to that side. When you pass a truck, it shields you from the wind and the car suddenly moves toward it. Once you pass it, the wind pushes you to the left again. In the image, two signs warn of crosswinds.
