A lot of people can and do drive in tropical storm force winds but you should really never drive in winds or tropical storm force winds unless you really need to.

It can be very dangerous to drive in high winds and tropical storm force winds especially when driving a high profile vehicle such as semi truck, pickup truck, Van and SUV.

When driving in high wind and tropical storm force winds you should keep both hands on the steering wheel and focus all your attention on the road when driving during those winds.

If you have no need to drive in the tropical storm force winds or high winds it's best to keep your vehicle parked and stay home.

Winds can sometimes push your vehicle into oncoming traffic which can be deadly or injure you or someone else pretty bad.
