Questions Learners Have About Crosswinds & Stability

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Crosswinds & Stability, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

How do crosswinds affect vehicle stability?

Crosswinds exert a sideways force on your vehicle, pushing it off its intended path. This effect is more pronounced on taller, lighter vehicles and can lead to a sudden loss of control if not anticipated and managed correctly.

Which types of vehicles are most susceptible to crosswinds?

High and light vehicles, such as vans, campervans, or cars towing trailers, are particularly susceptible to crosswinds. Their larger side profile acts like a sail, making them more vulnerable to being pushed sideways by gusts.

What should I do when driving in strong crosswinds?

When driving in strong crosswinds, it's crucial to reduce your speed, maintain adequate space around your vehicle, and anticipate sudden gusts. Hold the steering wheel firmly and be prepared to make small, corrective steering inputs to maintain your lane.

Can passing large trucks affect my vehicle's stability?

Yes, passing large trucks or being passed by them can create significant air displacement. This can cause a temporary crosswind effect, pushing your vehicle away from or towards the truck. Anticipate this by adjusting your steering and maintaining a safe distance.

What is the purpose of a windsock on the road?

A windsock indicates both the direction and relative strength of the wind. They are typically placed in areas with an increased risk of crosswinds, such as on bridges or open stretches of road, to alert drivers to potential wind hazards.
