You're riding on an exposed stretch of motorway and there’s a strong side wind. When should you anticipate the effect of the wind?


Explanation

"Beware of side winds when riding on exposed stretches of road. Take care when overtaking large vehicles. As you pass them, you may emerge from their shelter into a gust of wind that can suddenly blow you off course. Bear in mind that strong winds can affect the stability of other road users too."
