Practice question

How do strong crosswinds affect the stability and handling of a small passenger bus compared to a standard taxi?

  1. Buses are less affected because they are heavier
  2. Buses are highly sensitive to crosswinds due to their large side profile, which acts like a sail and can push the vehicle out of its lane
  3. Crosswinds have no effect on either vehicle if they are moving at the speed limit
  4. Crosswinds improve the fuel economy of the bus by pushing it forward

Answer: B — Buses are highly sensitive to crosswinds due to their large side profile, which acts like a sail and can push the vehicle out of its lane
