Driving on Off-Road Hills

Off-road driving often takes you up, down or across a

hill. Driving safely on hills requires good judgment

and an understanding of what your vehicle can and

can not do. There are some hills that simply can not be

driven, no matter how well built the vehicle.

{CAUTION:

Many hills are simply too steep for any vehicle.

If you drive up them, you will stall. If you drive

down them, you can not control your speed.

If you drive across them, you will roll over.

You could be seriously injured or killed. If you

have any doubt about the steepness, do not

drive the hill.

Approaching a Hill

When you approach a hill, you need to decide if it is

one of those hills that is just too steep to climb,

descend or cross. Steepness can be hard to judge.

On a very small hill, for example, there may be a

smooth, constant incline with only a small change in

elevation where you can easily see all the way to

the top. On a large hill, the incline may get steeper as

you near the top, but you may not see this because the

crest of the hill is hidden by bushes, grass or shrubs.

Here are some other things to consider as you approach

a hill.

• Is there a constant incline, or does the hill get

sharply steeper in places?

• Is there good traction on the hillside, or will the

surface cause tire slipping?

• Is there a straight path up or down the hill so you

will not have to make turning maneuvers?

• Are there obstructions on the hill that can block

your path (boulders, trees, logs or ruts)?

• What is beyond the hill? Is there a cliff, an

embankment, a drop-off, a fence? Get out and walk

the hill if you do not know. It is the smart way to

ﬁnd out.

• Is the hill simply too rough? Steep hills often have

ruts, gullies, troughs and exposed rocks because

they are more susceptible to the effects of erosion.
