far Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 In 12 years of motoring I have never had this, was driving down the M23, passed a lorry on an open stretch of road and the car was almost picked up and pushed to the offside lane! Very scarey!!! Its a new shape accord too so its pretty heavy too. It was extremely windy down them parts so I can only assume it was attributed to this. luckily i managed to regain control out of shear luck there was no other vehicle and no damage the car. Be careful out there - tis the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 It's amazing when the wind catches you, especially if you're not expecting it. Driving back from France in the van was pretty hairy going past big lorries etc with gales blowing across open stretches of motorway.

JustGav Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Yeah, I've noticed the wind a lot more in my VW Touran now, every now and then still catches me off guard. Although the people carrier is modded, and drives and handles as well better than a golf, the extra body panels thanks to being a people carrier still act like a kite sometimes.. Just be careful out there people... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Yeah must admit when I had the supe it sliced through the wind without any shakes, the accord aint too high sided but you do feel the difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
