Explanation
If you encounter a severe dust storm while driving, reduce your speed right away and safely pull off the roadway as far as possible. Once stopped, turn off all vehicle lights, including headlights and hazard lights. This is important because other drivers may follow your lights and accidentally crash into your vehicle. Stay inside your vehicle with your seat belt fastened, and wait for the storm to pass. Do not attempt to drive through the dust storm-visibility may be extremely limited, and continuing to drive can be life-threatening.
