Off-Road Driving Considerations
When
you leave paved roads, you
leave a generally predictable and
orderly world behind. You won't
find lane markers or traffic
signals. No one will be there to
warn
you of trouble ahead. It's up
to you to assess situations and
drive
within limits. The terrain
has limits (some hills are too steep,
for example). You have
limits (in skills and comfort
level).
And off-road vehicles also
have limits (traction, stability, and
power,
for instance).
Following
are some important tips
on
how to deal with some of the
challenges
of driving off-road.
Using
Your Senses
You need to use your senses a
little
differently off-road. Keep
your eyes moving, constantly
watching
for obstacles and
evaluating the terrain. Check your
gauges frequently. Listen for unusual sounds from your engine
and tires. Pay attention to the
smell
of overheated brakes. And
when you feel excessive
vibrations or bouncing, the terrain is telling you to slow down. Off-Road Driving Information
