It's much more likely to happen going uphill. But if

Driving Across an Incline

Sooner or later, an off-road trail will probably go across

the incline of a hill. If this happens, you have

decide

whether

try to drive across the incline. Here are some

things to consider:

A hill that can be driven straight up or down may be

too

steep to drive across. When you go straight up

or down a hill, the length of the wheel base (the

distance from the front wheels to 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 an

incline puts more weight on the downhill wheels.

This could cause a downhill slide

a rollover.

Surface conditions can be a problem when you drive

across a hill. Loose gravel, muddy spots, or even wet

grass can cause your tires to slip sideways, downhill.

If the vehicle slips sideways,

can hit something

that will trip

(a rock, a

rut,

etc.)

and roll over.
