Traveling to Remote Areas

It makes sense to plan your trip, especially when going
to a remote area. Know the terrain and plan your route.
You are much less likely to get bad surprises. Get
accurate maps of trails and terrain. Try to learn of any
blocked or closed roads.

It’s also a good idea to travel with at least one other
vehicle. If something happens to one of them, the other
can help quickly.

Getting Familiar with Off-Road Driving

It’s a good idea to practice in an area that’s safe and
close to home before you go into the wilderness.
Off

-

road driving does require some new and different

driving skills. Here’s what we mean.

Tune your senses to different kinds of signals. Your
eyes, for example, need to constantly sweep the terrain
for unexpected obstacles. Your ears need to listen for
unusual tire or engine sounds. With your arms, hands,
feet and body, you’ll need to respond to vibrations and
vehicle bounce.

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:
D you approach things faster and you have less time to

scan the terrain for obstacles.

D you have less time to react.
D you have more vehicle bounce when you drive

over obstacles.

D you’ll need more distance for braking, especially

since you’re on an unpaved surface.

CAUTION:

When you’re 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’re driving on
or off the road, you and your passengers should
wear safety belts.
