RIDING THE VEHICLE
When riding in sand dunes it is advisable to equip the vehicle with an antenna type
safety flag. This will help make your location more visible to others over the next
sand dune. Proceed carefully should you see another safety flag ahead. Since the
antenna type safety flag can snag and rebound on your body if caught, do not use it
in areas where there are low hanging branches or obstacles.
Riding on Loose Stones
Riding on loose stones or gravel is very similar to riding on ice. They will affect the
steering of vehicle possibly causing it to slide or tip over especially at high speeds
(resulting in operator ejection). In addition, braking distance may be affected.
In addition, braking distance may be affected. Remember that “gunning” the
throttle or sliding may cause loose stones to be ejected rearwards into the path of
another rider. Never do it deliberately.
