Wind gusts

Wind gusts road sign (Sviptivindur)
What do I do?

Both hands on the wheel and slow down — gusts strike at bridge ends, mountain gaps and when passing trucks. In a wind warning, don't drive at all.

Icelandic gusts flip campervans and tear car doors off their hinges. The windsock marks the worst zones; check vedur.is before every leg and hold the door when you open it.
