Controlling your vehicle is the key to successful

off-road driving. One of the best ways to control

your vehicle is to control your speed. Here are

some things to keep in mind. At higher speeds:

• You approach things faster and you have less

time to scan the terrain for obstacles.

• You have less time to react.

• You have more vehicle bounce when you drive

over obstacles.

• You will need more distance for braking,

especially since you are on an unpaved

surface.

{CAUTION:

When you are driving off-road, bouncing

and quick changes in direction can easily

throw you out of position. This could

cause you to lose control and crash.

So, whether you are driving on or off the

road, you and your passengers should

wear safety belts.

Scanning the Terrain

Off-road driving can take you over many different

kinds of terrain. You need to be familiar with

the terrain and its many different features.

Here are some things to consider.

Surface Conditions: Off-roading can take you

over hard-packed dirt, gravel, rocks, grass,

sand, mud, snow, or ice. Each of these surfaces

affects the steering, acceleration, and braking

of your vehicle in different ways. Depending

upon the kind of surface you are on, you may

experience slipping, sliding, wheel spinning,

delayed acceleration, poor traction, and longer

braking distances.
