    Gusting speeds of 40 mph can be troublesome; steady speeds of 50 or more are hazardous. Large trucks catch the worst of it and if you are alongside them you won't like it either.

    That would depend on the car, type of car. I have drove some that it doesn't take much wind to have you all over the road, I have a car now that if the wind gives you real problems, most every one else are already off the road.

    "Difficult" depends on the vehicle and the driver. I had absolutely no problem on my little 380 pound motorcycle, but I compensate for side gusts.
