Driving in heavy wind tips

What he means by riding it is to use a sea going term "Pay off to the wind" meaning allow the wind to shove your rig over a few feet but gradually adding power with your steering wheel against it to stabilize it before you ran out of pavement. Sometimes the gust will pass by and give you better air to collect the wheels and get everyone back into line.

For a light moment, here is a chinese driver who used way too much braking because he carelessly did not pay attention ahead of him for whatever reason, however he came off the brakes fast enough and then balanced everything long enough to save it.

SLOW DOWN !!!

 

Windy days, and sudden shifts in wind patterns, are part of the job. I drive in the mid-west of the country where winds create a problem driving. Lowering your mph and keeping a steady grip on the wheel, empty are not, will bring you through or to a safe haven. The real problem increase's with trucks that pass. Don't worry about holding the white line so much as giving plenty of passing room to the passing truck. While driving your site should be on two positions as you move your eyes to and from your mirrors. The white line and at least a quarter mile ahead. Don't be afraid of it overcome it through knowledge.

 

You can have whatever you want or nothing at all between you and the road. Given a strong enough wind 18 wheelers fly. Not well but fly.

Everything is a journey. Sometimes you need to wait up a while untila frontal problem passes. Or roll in between winter storms to escape a mountain pass you can hit Nebraska and run east wild and free. and so on.
