Riding in Wind
What you need to know
Wind, including from passing trucks, can push you — stay loose and prepared. In the official Ontario tests, questions on this topic come from the Ministry of Transportation's Driver's Handbook (for cars) and Motorcycle Handbook (for riders).
Sample practice questions
How should you respond when strong crosswinds or gusty wind push your motorcycle?
- A Grip loosely and relax your arms
- B Slow down, grip firmly and allow for drift, staying ready to adjust
- C Crank the throttle to power through
- D Lean hard into the wind and brake
💡 In wind, reduce speed, keep a firm relaxed grip, and steer smoothly to compensate for the push so you stay in control.
