Which type of wind can cause sudden, unpredictable lateral displacement of a motorcycle?

Correct answer

When it blows from the side and in gusts.

Gusty crosswinds, because the force pushing the motorcycle sideways changes. Reduce speed, increase lateral clearance and make smooth corrections without abrupt movements. Passing large vehicles or obstacles may temporarily reduce wind, which can return on emerging from their shelter; it does not always stop completely. Risk also depends on intensity, the road, grip and the vehicle: any strong wind can make riding difficult.
