Driving

Across

lncline

Sooner or later,

off-road trail will probably go across the incline

a hill.

If this happens, you have to decide whether to try to drive across the incline.

Here are some things to consider:

hill that can be driven straight up or down may be too steep to drive

across. When you

straight up or down a hill, the length

the wheel

base (the distance from the front wheels

the rear wheels) reduces the

likelihood the vehicle will tumble end over end. But when you drive

across an incline, the much more narrow track width (the distance

between the left and right wheels) may not prevent the vehicle from

tilting and rolling over. Also, driving across

incline puts more

weight on the downhill wheels.

This

could cause a downhill slide or a

rollover.

Surface conditions can be a problem when you drive across

hill.

Loose gravel, muddy spots, or even wet grass can cause your tires to

slip sideways, downhill. If the vehicle slips sideways, it can hit

something that will trip

(a rock, a

rut,

etc.) and roll over.

Hidden obstacles can make the steepness of the incline even worse. If

you drive across a rock with the uphill wheels, or if the downhill

wheels drop into

rut or depression, your vehicle

can

tilt

even

more.

For reasons like these, you need to decide carefully whether to

try

to drive

across

incline. Just because the trail goes across

the

incline doesn’t mean

you

have to drive it. The last vehicle to try it might have rolled over.

What if

I’m

driving across an incline that’s not too

steep,

but

hit

some

loose

gravel and start to slide downhill. What should

do?

you feel your vehicle starting to slide sideways,

turn

downhill. This

should help straighten out the vehicle and prevent the side slipping.

However, a much better way to prevent this is

get

out

and “walk the

course”

you

know what the surface is like before you drive

it.
