Turning
Off-road, the basic turning
technique is to drive at low speed
and gradually adjust the amount
of steering to suit the surface.
You should have no problem
making sharp turns on level
ground - if you keep speed low.
But one thing you should NOT do,
off-road or on pavement, is make
abrupt turns at higher speeds.
With a higher center of gravity,
your vehicle can more easily tip
or roll over in a turn.
Braking
The best off-road braking
technique to use with anti-lock
brakes is to gently depress the
brake pedal at first, then increase
the pressure as more braking is
needed.
Avoid hard braking. Light to
moderate braking is usually all
that is necessary on soft surfaces
such as soft sand, loose dirt or
gravel, powdery snow, or mud.
If you need to brake hard because
of an emergency, apply steady
even pressure to the brake pedal.
Do not pump the brakes; let the
anti-lock braking system pump
them for you. If you pump the
brakes, the anti-lock cannot work
as efficiently, and your stopping
distance may be increased.
Keep in mind that, in general, you
need more time and distance to
brake to a stop when driving
off-road.
