date-icon 15 Aug 2012  author-icon Posted by Miriam O'Neill


It’s set to be stormy in many parts of the country today so we remind you to be prepared for sudden and powerful gusts particularly when driving on exposed stretches of motorways and other roads, when crossing bridges, passing sudden gaps in hedgerows and also when overtaking high sided vehicles such as transit vans, buses, caravans, horseboxes or articulated lorries as they may be masking a gust.  For further advice on driving in high winds click here to visit the AA Winter Zone.
