Correct answer
- Asujetar el volante con firmeza, pero sin tensión, hacia la izquierda.hold the steering wheel firmly, but without tension, towards the left.
Explanation
A strong wind blowing from the left pushes the car to the right. To compensate, you must hold the steering wheel firmly, but without tension, correcting towards the left, that is, towards the side the wind is coming from, and reduce your speed. Driving on the hard shoulder is not a solution.
