How would a strong side-wind affect the movement of the tall truck?

- It would have no effect. A commercial vehicle carrying a heavy load is not affected at all by side winds.
- Side winds do not affect heavy vehicles.
- It would have no effect. The truck, without cargo, is not affected by the force of side winds.
