WARNING - Driving  on
hills
Off-road driving  often takes  you up,
down, or across  a hill. Driving safely
on  hills requires  excellent judgment
and  an understanding  of what  your
vehicle can  and can’t  do. There are
some hills that  simply should not  be
driven.

Drinking  and   driving,  or  drug
use  and   driving  can   be  very
dangerous   on  any   road.  This
certainly  remains  true   for  off-
road  driving.  At  the  very  time
you need  special alertness  and
driving skills, your reflexes, per-
ceptions and judgement  can be
affected by even a small amount
of  alcohol or  drugs. You  could
have a  serious -  or even  fatal -
accident  if   you  drink   or  take
drugs  and drive  or  ride  with a
driver who has been drinking or
taking drugs.
Many hills  are simply too  steep
for any  vehicle. If  you  drive up
them, you will  stall. If you  drive
down  them,  you   can’t  control
your speed.  In either  case, you
could   flip   over.  If   you   drive
across them,  you  will roll  over.
You could be seriously or fatally
injured.  If you  have  any  doubt
about the steepness, don’t drive
up  or  down  the  hill, even  if  it
means  that   you  have   to  turn
around  and find  another route.
Re-tracking is  a  normal part  of
safe off-roading.
