Correct answer
It may move towards the lorry as the wind’s effect changes suddenly.
The shielding effect can suddenly reduce the wind’s push. If the same compensating steering correction is maintained, your vehicle may move towards the lorry. A gust may return when you pass it. Hold the wheel firmly, correct smoothly and maintain separation; do not make a predetermined abrupt turn. Wait if overtaking cannot be done safely.
