Correct answer
Hold firmly and reduce speed
Hold the steering firmly and reduce speed, avoiding abrupt movements. Side winds can destabilise a long or tall combination and increase trailer movement. Do not accelerate to cross the area sooner or release a hand to try to balance it. Take particular care with gusts, exposed sections and changes in wind shelter.
