Predict the Dangers on the Highway! (2) [Safety]

Motorcycle & Industry

Hello, I'm Nyandanya.

Did you predict the danger on the "highway to the tourist area" in the last issue?

I hope you'll give this issue a try, Nya!

Problem: Highway Tunnel Exit

You are on holiday, Nya, touring on the highway with two people on a motorcycle. A typhoon had passed the day before, making it a perfect day for touring.

Nya is about to exit the tunnel along with trucks and passenger cars. If you are a motorcycle rider, what in particular do you pay attention to, Nya?

(1) Blowing stream at the exit (2) Truck in front (3) White car on the right

I wish you could see the video, Nya!

The correct answer is...

It's a "blowtorch at the exit of (1)."

When we exited the tunnel, the crosswind blew us off the road and we almost hit the guardrail. Be careful at tunnel exits, on bridges, in mountainous areas, and in building valleys because of strong winds.

Especially before and after typhoons, winds are often strong, so Nya checks wind speeds on blowdowns and road information boards.

Also, even in strong winds, driving with "sudden" actions such as sudden steering or braking is a cause of accidents and should be avoided. Nya will anticipate dangers in advance and respond without haste and without fretting.
