Question 6123
There is a crosswind. What must you do?
- Adjust your speed and drive in lower gears when necessary.
- Reduce your speed and always drive in first gear.
- Increase your speed and drive in higher gears.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Adjust your speed and drive in lower gears when necessary.
In a strong crosswind, reduce your speed according to the wind's strength and choose the right gear for that speed, using a lower gear if necessary. Always driving in first gear makes no sense, and accelerating in high gears increases the danger. In the image, the windsock is extended.
