Risk factors related to the winds:
(1) high wind speeds
(2) highly variable wind speeds (constantly changing in direction, intensity, timing)
Environmental risk factors:
(1) poor visibility due to dust, snow or other debris driven by the wind
(2) poor road conditions (slippery)
Risk factors related to the vehicle:
(1) large cross-sectional area exposed to the wind (tall and long)
(2) problems with steering
(3) light weight
(4) aerodynamic
Risk factors related to the driver:
(1) inexperience
