I remember driving across Wyoming in a U-Haul with wicked side winds for 100 miles. Had to keep the steering wheel half a turn into the wind. Makes for stressful, white knuckled driving. Signs warned that no empty loaded trucks were allowed on the interstate.
From a different angle regarding side winds. Back in my competative cycling days. We used to ride in a paceline. In sidewinds it was called " – The art of the echelon". Where one rider would be diagonal to the other.
Shame our cars will not reconfigure the body panels based on wind direction.
