DDifficulty 2/5

When strong wind gusts make it difficult to hold your path, which of these measures is safer?

Correct answer

Reduce speed.

Reduce and adapt speed, keep enough following distance and use smooth inputs. This leaves more room to respond to wind changes; it does not guarantee eliminating gusts or their force. Do not follow another vehicle closely to seek its slipstream. If you cannot maintain safe control, find a safe place to stop.
