important when driving in rough terrain. The
front wheels will move right and left as they
respond to the terrain, and this movement
will be felt in the steering wheel. A sudden
jolt could yank the steering wheel around,
and your thumbs or fingers could be injured
if they are in the way of the steering wheel
spokes.
Braking
The type of terrain affects braking ability. In
most cases, gradual application of the
brakes is more effective than abrupt braking,
particularly on loose surfaces like gravel.
Always allow for greater braking distance
on rough, loose, or slippery surfaces.
Going uphill
Do not attempt to climb hills until you have
mastered basic maneuvers on flat ground.
Use proper driving techniques to avoid
overturns on hills and slopes. Drive straight
up hills, and avoid crossing the side of a hill,
which increases your chance of rollover.
Practice first on gentle slopes before
attempting steeper hills. Always check the
terrain carefully before attempting any hill.
