Wind gusts
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.
