safe-driving
What is the best practice for driving in strong wind, especially when towing a trailer?
- Drive at slower speeds
- Use cruise control to keep speed constant
- Increase speed to reduce the time in the wind
- Follow a large truck closely for shelter
Answer: Drive at slower speeds. Strong wind is hazardous for all motorists and especially for large vehicles and drivers towing trailers. Vermont identifies slower speeds as the best practice because reduced speed gives more time to correct for gusts, sway, or debris. Cruise control can limit your ability to respond smoothly, and speeding or drafting behind a truck reduces your safety margin. Watch the roadway for fallen trees and wires as well. The practical cue is to slow down before the vehicle begins moving unpredictably.
