limits of your own driving ability before attempting to drive at
higher speed settings.
Driving on soft and/or uneven surfaces increases the chances of
a collision or fall from the seat due to loss of control or tip-over
and can result in serious injury or death. Avoid driving on these
surfaces.
10. As your skill increases, you may want to increase the Speed/
Response Control. For each increase of the Speed/Response
Control, be sure you practice several stops until you get used
to the new stopping distance.
