BDifficulty 2/5

If wind appears to be blowing head-on, may you disregard its driving risks?

Correct answer

No, assess strength, gusts and changes of direction.

No. Wind strength and gusts can vary and change its effective direction. Adapt speed and maintain firm smooth control, especially in exposed places and when leaving sheltered areas. Gusting crosswinds can destabilise the vehicle; this greater hazard does not mean every headwind is always harmless.
