It's windy, at what point do I become a high sided vehicle?

[bigfatnick]

Something I was wondering, where do you draw the line and admit you are a high sided vehicle? Legally as much as anything, my potato bulkier, even unladen, tends not to get caught in cross winds too badly, but then I seem to manage in a fully freighted curtain sider just fine too, in fact, I dare say a loaded truck without a ridiculous wind sail of a trailer is easier to keep in lane than a big van. But when does common sense go out of the window and a man in high vid turn you round regardless? Is there a hard and fast rule? Thanks

I see what you are saying, but say for example the forth road bridge, I kinda always assume if I didn't go the long way round (which I always have) there would be a police man stood at the end of a bridge deciding who can and can't cross. Or is it a self policing kind of thing? (I should point out at this point that I've only been driving artics for a year and a bit. So still happy to gleam any knowledge.)

BTW: "Potato bulkier"?

Apologies, fat fingers and tablet do not combine. Potato bulker.

So it sounds like we aren't to use common sense. Awesome.

Thanks all!
