Don't Drink and Drive
Alcohol is a leading cause of
death and injury off-road as well
as on-road. Alcohol reduces your
ability to think clearly and react
quickly. Fatigue and drugs, legal
or illegal, can have similar effects.
If you aren't sober or in good
physical and mental condition,
don't drive.
Getting Ready to Drive Off-Road
Before leaving on a brief off-road
excursion or an extended
overnight trip, you need to make
sure you and your vehicle are both
prepared.
When making your plans,
remember that it's best to travel
with at least one other vehicle in
case you have trouble, and always
let someone else know where
you're going and when you
expect to return.
Whatever your destination, we
recommend that you get maps of
your route so you can study the
terrain, talk with other drivers
who are familiar with the location,
and find out in advance if you
need any special permits. Then,
shortly before you leave, get the
latest weather predictions for your
destination, and check on any
closures that could affect your
plans.
There are many sources that can
help you plan a trip. The U.S.
Forest Service, Bureau of Land
Management, motor vehicle
bureaus, and park and recreation
departments can provide maps
