Braking
Braking ability is affected by the type of
terrain. In most cases, gradually
application of the brakes is more
effective than abrupt braking,
particularly on loose surfaces like gravel.
Always allow for greater braking
distance on rough, loose, or slippery
surfaces.
Going uphill
Do not attempt to climb hills until you
have mastered basic maneuvers on flat
ground. Use proper driving techniques
to avoid overturns on hills and slopes.
Drive straight up hills, and avoid
crossing the side of a hill, which
increases your chance of rollover.
Practice first on gentle slopes before
attempting steeper hills. Always check
the terrain carefully before attempting
any hill. Use common sense and
remember that some hills are too steep
for you to climb.
Maximum slope angle: 15°
