What Should You Do If You Overtake A Cyclist When It's Very Windy
Cyclists and motorcyclists are very vulnerable in high winds, which can easily push them off course and veer into your path. Always give them extra room when overtaking and proceed cautiously to avoid pushing the cyclist off balance or into danger.
It can be difficult to drive in different weather conditions, especially on windy days. So, what should you do if you overtake a cyclist when it's very windy? Give them extra space.
Determine the direction and strength of the wind before trying to pass a cyclist. Prolonged gusts can interfere with the stability of your car. And the cyclists balance making overtaking more difficult. It is advisable to give cyclists extra space when passing them in windy conditions. This is because the wind may cause them to sway or make sudden movements. This guarantees that there is enough room for you and the cyclist to maneuver safely.
In windy conditions proceed with caution and keep an eye out for cyclists. Hold onto the steering wheel firmly. And, be ready to respond fast if the wind or the behavior of other cyclists suddenly changes.
