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. Set your emergency brake, stay inside your vehicle with your seat belt on, and wait for the storm to pass. Never try to speed up or continue driving in these conditions, as it puts you and others at risk.
