There is often a crosswind, unless you drive in a dead calm weather, were
the only wind would be the headwind created by vehicle motion..  Many times
I noticed side wind gusts while driving fast in a windy weather, with or
without a kayak.  It even felt like those gusts were stronger when I was
driving faster, though I can't understand why.
