When you drive over obstacles or rough terrain, keep a

ﬁrm grip on the steering wheel. Ruts, troughs or

other surface features can jerk the wheel out of your

hands if you are not prepared.

When you drive over bumps, rocks, or other obstacles,

your wheels can leave the ground. If this happens,

even with one or two wheels, you cannot control the

vehicle as well or at all.

Because you will be on an unpaved surface, it is

especially important to avoid sudden acceleration,

sudden turns or sudden braking.

In a way, off-road driving requires a different kind of

alertness from driving on paved roads and highways.

There are no road signs, posted speed limits or

signal lights. You have to use your own good judgment

about what is safe and what is not.

Drinking and driving can be very dangerous on any

road. And this is certainly true for off-road driving. At the

very time you need special alertness and driving

skills, your reﬂexes, perceptions and judgment can be

affected by even a small amount of alcohol. You

could have a serious — or even fatal — accident if you

drink and drive or ride with a driver who has been

drinking. See Drunken Driving on page 4-4.

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

cannot do. There are some hills that simply cannot 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 cannot 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.
