Driving Techniques
NEGOTIATING A ‘V’ SHAPED GULLY
CROSSING A RIDGE
Observe extreme caution! Steering up either of
the gully walls could cause the side of the
vehicle to be trapped against the opposite gully
wall.
DRIVING IN EXISTING WHEEL TRACKS
As far as possible allow the vehicle to steer
itself along the bottom of the ruts. However,
always keep a light hold of the steering wheel to
prevent it from spinning free.
Particularly in wet conditions, if the steering
wheel is allowed to spin free, the vehicle may
appear to be driving straight ahead in the ruts,
but in actual fact (due to the lack of traction
caused by the wet ground) is unknowingly on
full right or left lock. Then, when level ground is
reached, or if a dry patch of ground is
encountered, the wheels will find traction and
cause the vehicle to suddenly veer to left or
right.
H4434
Approach at right angles so that both front
wheels cross the ridge together - an angled
approach could cause traction to be lost
through diagonally opposite wheels lifting from
the ground at the same time.
