Correct answer
- Asujetar el volante, con firmeza pero sin rigidez, hacia la izquierda.hold the steering wheel firmly but not rigidly, towards the left.
To correct the deviations caused by the side force of the wind and keep the vehicle on course, we must hold the steering wheel firmly but not rigidly, pushing against the wind: that is, to the left if the wind blows from the left, and to the right if it blows from the right. The sign in the picture, which warns of side winds, does not show which side the wind is blowing from.
