You’re driving on the motorway in windy conditions. What should you do as you pass a high-sided vehicle?

Explanation: The draught caused by other vehicles - particularly those with high sides - could be strong enough to push you out of your lane. Be prepared for a sudden gust of wind as you pass large vehicles. Keep both hands on the steering wheel to help you keep full control.
