Explanation
In the event of a severe dust storm, you should reduce your speed, pull off the road, and come to a complete stop. Turn off all vehicle lights to prevent other drivers from using them as a guide.

Never try to speed up or continue driving in these conditions, as it puts you and others at risk.
