Magdefrau,
There are dust devils and there are dust devils. Most are fairly mild but, being essentially miniature tornados, driving through one of the strong ones could cause you problems, to say the least. There have even been rare ones that could tear up a mobile home, and do other rather serious damage -- of course these aren't your garden variety dust devils, but they do occur on occasion.
After living in New Mexico, Texas and Colorado for many years, I've seen a couple of these strong ones, and you really don't want any part of them.
Or in other words, caution is in order...
