PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS.
BE READY FOR A SUDDEN DROP IN VISIBILITY TO NEAR ZERO. IF YOU
ENCOUNTER BLOWING DUST OR BLOWING SAND ON THE ROADWAY OR SEE IT
APPROACHING, PULL OFF THE ROAD AS FAR AS POSSIBLE AND PUT YOUR
VEHICLE IN PARK. TURN THE LIGHTS ALL THE WAY OFF AND KEEP FOOT OFF
THE BRAKE PEDAL. REMEMBER, 'PULL ASIDE, STAY ALIVE'.
