Do you know what to do in extreme
weather situations while driving? We hear reports about terrible weather
striking across the country and causing catastrophic events. The only
thing that is safe to say is that we will come across an unsafe weather
condition like high winds at some point. The way we react in in any
situation can help achieve a safe outcome.
What is the best way to react to a
high wind situation? For starters, be aware of your surroundings.
It is important to know that high winds are more problematic for large vehicles
because of aerodynamics. The larger the vehicle, the more of a chance
that the wind’s velocity can and will make the vehicle uncontrollable. If
you're in a smaller vehicle, you might have better control, but the larger
vehicle next to you might fall victim to the winds and take you out too.
Slow down and get yourself out of harm’s way.
The number one tool that should be
utilized is your awareness. Don’t drive unless you absolutely have to and
if you’re on the road when the high winds come, take precautionary measures for
the safest of outcomes.
