RIDING THE VEHICLE
It is also wise to know the terrain condition on the other side of a hill or bank. All too
often there exists a sharp drop-off that is impossible to negotiate or descend.
Whenever there is the slightest doubt that the vehicle can safely negotiate an ob-
stacle or a particular piece of terrain, always choose an alternate route.
Always use proper riding techniques to avoid vehicle overturns on hills and rough
terrain and in turns.
Body Position
To maintain proper control, it is strongly advised that you keep your hands on the
handlebar and within easy reach of all controls. The same holds true for your feet
on the footpegs. To minimize the possibility of a leg or foot injury, keep your feet on
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 ro ad, 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.
