and other useful information.
Recreational
vehicle clubs can put
you in touch with other drivers,
and
off-road magazines publish
first-hand
descriptions of driving
locations.
To help keep off-road driving areas open, stay on roads, trails
and open areas approved for
off-highway
vehicles (OHVs).
Please respect no trespassing
signs, and don't drive on private
property
without permission. Check Out Your Vehicle
Off-road driving can be hard on a
vehicle, requiring extra attention to maintenance. Before driving
off-road,
be sure all scheduled
maintenance
and service has been
done, and that you have also inspected
your vehicle. Pay
special
attention to the condition
of the tires and use a gauge to
check
the tire pressures. Improperly
inflated tires can be
more
easily damaged by rocks
and
other hard or sharp objects.
Do not let air out of your tires unless
you can reinflate them
soon after returning to pavement,
and remember to periodically
inspect the tires for signs of
damage
, especially if you hit a
large or sharp rock. Off-Road Driving Information
