In Italian vehicle safety and emergency procedures (Codice della Strada), what is the rule regarding the driving situations where lateral wind gusts (raffiche di vento laterale) represent the greatest overturning hazard?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Exiting tunnels, viaducts, passing trucks

  1. Step 1: Emerging from windbreaks (tunnel portals, bridge pillars, truck wind shadows) exposes high-sided or lightweight cars to violent lateral displacement. Answer: Exiting tunnels, viaducts, passing trucks. Why not the others: the other options do not conform to vehicle safety standards and emergency regulations under the Codice della Strada.
