BDifficulty 1/5

In strong crosswinds, is it advisable to add a bulky load to a car’s roof rack if it can be avoided?

Correct answer

No, it can compromise stability.

No: it can increase the area exposed to wind and compromise stability. Roof loads also raise the centre of gravity. This does not mean every roof rack is prohibited: loads must comply with limits and be secured according to the manufacturer. Reduce speed and drive cautiously in gusts.
