> semi truck on my way back from Dalamatia to Istria

I can guess that was under Velebit, where bura is often very strong and at those times the road is closed for motorcycles, campers, double-deckers and vehicles with trailers.

But people regularly ignore those restrictions because they are not aware of the danger.

Possibly, I couldn't tell you where exactly it was to be honest.

I'm not stranger to driving in 100MPH winds (Santa Ana), and I even did my Motorcycle endorsement in 70mph winds (I dropped their bike coming to a stop due to a freak side gust) but my little under-powered Golf was being tossed around by the Bura so bad that I was just waiting for the thing to jack knife as there were no exits for like +30km.

I took the toll road the rest of the way back to Istria as it wasn't worth it in the end.
