When driving at night in a windy day, you should use anti-glare low beam headlights instead of high beam headlights, so as not to affect your vision due to the dazzling light curtain.

When the wind and sand are particularly strong, the car should be parked on the windward part of the road with the front of the car facing away from the wind and sand, and the shutters should be half closed to prevent fine sand particles from being sucked into the cylinder by the engine and accelerate the wear of the parts.

Cargo-carrying vehicles should fasten the tarpaulin on the vehicle and fix the goods on the vehicle; when loading light-weight and bulky materials, they should stop to avoid the storm, so as to prevent the vehicle from being blown by the storm and leaving the normal driving route.

Precautions
