the footpegs at all times. Do not direct your toes outwards nor extend your feet out
to assist in turning as they can be hit or be snagged on passing obstacles, or may
come into contact with the wheels.
Even though there is a suspension on this vehicle, there are "washboard" or rough
terrain conditions that will make you feel uncomfortable and can even cause a back
injury. "Posting" or riding in a crouched position will often be required. Slow down
and allow your flexed legs to absorb part of the impact energy.

Crossing Roads
If you have to cross a road, the lead driver should get off his vehicle, then observe
and give directions to the other riders. The last person after crossing then assists
the lead driver to cross. Do not travel on sidewalks. They are designated for
pedestrian use.
Turning
Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds.
Keep both hands on handlebars and feet on footpegs.
Maintain a constant speed or a slight acceleration during turn.
To reduce the risk of rollovers:
– Use care when turning.
• Do not turn the handlebar too far or too fast for your speed and environment.
Adjust steering inputs accordingly.
• Slow down before entering a turn. Avoid hard braking during a turn.
• Avoid sudden or hard acceleration when turning, even from a stop or low
speed.
