Surface Obstacles: Unseen or hidden obstacles can

be hazardous. A rock, log, hole, rut, or bump can startle

you if you are not prepared for them. Often these

obstacles are hidden by grass, bushes, snow, or even

the rise and fall of the terrain itself. Here are some

things to consider:

• Is the path ahead clear?

• Will the surface texture change abruptly up ahead?

• Does the travel take you uphill or downhill?

There is more discussion of these subjects later.

• Will you have to stop suddenly or change direction

quickly?

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,

the 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 Drunk Driving on page 4-2.
