GOING DOWNHILL

Check the terrain carefully before going
down a hill. When possible, choose a path
that lets you drive your vehicle straight
downhill. Avoid sharp angles that could allow
the vehicle to pitch or roll over. Carefully
choose your path and drive no faster than
you will be able to react to obstacles that may
appear.

down the hill where possible.
