Because you will be on an unpaved
I
surface, it's especially important to
avoid sudden acceleration, sudden turns,
or sudden braking.
In a way, off-road driving requires a
different kind of alertness from driving
on paved roads and highways. There are
no road signs, posted speed limits or
signal lights. You have to use your own
good judgment about what is safe and
what isn't.
I
CAUTION
'
Drinking and driving can be
-
very dangerous on any road.
And this is certainly true for
off-road driving. At the very time
you need special alertness and
driving skills, your reflexes,
perceptions and judgment can be
affected by even a small amount of
alcohol. You could have a serious
-
or even fatal
-
accident if you
drink and drive or ride with a
driver who has been drinking. (See
"Drunken Driving" in the Index.)
Driving on Off-Road Hills
Off-road driving often takes you up,
down, or across a hill. Driving safely on
hills requires good judgment and an
understanding of what your vehicle can
and can't do. There are some hills that
simply can't be driven, no matter how
well built the vehicle.
