Question 883 · Safety · Licence classes: C1, C, D

How would a strong side-wind affect the movement of the tall truck?

  1. Correct answer: The wind pushes to divert the truck, and the truck driver would be forced to slow down and overcome the lateral force that pushes him to the side.
  2. It would have no effect. A commercial vehicle carrying a heavy load is not affected at all by side winds.
  3. Side winds do not affect heavy vehicles.
  4. It would have no effect. The truck, without cargo, is not affected by the force of side winds.

WhyA strong side wind pushes a tall truck out of its lane. The driver has to slow down and hold the vehicle on course.
