BDifficulty 2/5

When overtaking a large vehicle on its left with a crosswind from the right, which danger should you anticipate?

Correct answer

Loss of control and path deviation due to gusts and changes in shelter.

You may lose control and deviate when wind force suddenly changes. The large vehicle can shelter you momentarily; leaving its shelter exposes you again to a gust from the right pushing you left. The overtaken vehicle is on your right, not your left. Reduce speed, keep separation and correct smoothly with a firm grip; do not begin an unsafe manoeuvre.
