I have entered into a dressage competiton on Sunday at a venue that is about 40 minutes drive away along the motorway. However, it is forecast to have winds of 25mph with gusts up to 45mph. This sounds very windy to me, and I won't take my lorry out if I feel the weather is too bad (which I suspect it will be).
I just wondered how windy is 'too windy' to drive a lorry. I understand that going on open roads and speed (i.e motorways) has more risk for high sided vehicles, but is there a wind level which is generally considered acceptable to drive in?
I have never driven my lorry in the wind (only had it 3 months) so I have no idea how it handles. I won't be braving 45mph gusts to find out either!
