You’re driving a high-sided vehicle on a motorway. Where should you be especially aware of the effects of side wind?

Explanation: On motorways, be especially careful when driving over bridges and viaducts. The road here is exposed and in windy weather there's a risk of strong side wind, which may blow you off course or even blow your vehicle over. In severe windy weather, these routes are often closed to drivers of high-sided vehicles.
