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.

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?

• Will you have to stop suddenly or change direction

quickly?

When driving 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.

When driving 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.

Off-roading requires a different kind of alertness from

driving on paved roads and highways. There are no road

signs, posted speed limits, or signal lights. Use good

judgment about what is safe and what is not.

Driving on 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 the 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.
