Off-Road Safety Tips

When driving on the trails, you will want to take it slow and steady, as you will have to re-approach obstacles few times before getting over them. Speeding through the trails will only increase the risk of damage and accidents.

If your vehicle is having a tough time getting over a part of the trail, reconsider if it is the path you should take. Sometimes there are other ways to getting around the same part of the terrain.

Avoid getting off the trail since you don't know the condition of the terrain you are on, and it will increase your chance of injury. This tip is especially important for new drivers that want to off-road, as it seems harmless to go off the path, but it will usually result in your vehicle getting stuck

A good tip is to walk the part of the trail before driving it because it's difficult to see some hazards from the cabin.

If you get your vehicle stuck in a situation where help might not come immediately, you will need to be willing to walk back the trails.

When you go off-roading, always tell someone about your whereabouts and keep checking in often. Sometimes trails don't have cellular reception, and if you get stuck or lost, you will want someone to call for help.
