When the wind is blowing at high speeds you should driver slower since you'll have better control over your vehicle and more time to react.

If you drive too fast in high winds you have less control over your vehicle and less time to react to situations.

When the wind is blowing high it also reduces your control over the steering so keep both hands on the wheel and drive at a slower speed.
