You’re driving a high-sided vehicle on a motorway. You should anticipate the effects of side wind. When is this most likely to happen?

Explanation: Motorways often have exposed sections of road, placing high-sided vehicles at risk in side wind. When there are extremes of weather, listen to and watch out for weather forecasts. That way, you can plan your journey for the safest time, or make a decision on whether you should travel at all.
