Your Vehicle
Encountering Obstacles o
n the Trail
If you cannot go around an obstacle such as
a fallen tree trunk or a ditch, stop the vehicle
where it is safe to do so. Set the parking
brake and get out to inspect the area
thoroughly. Look from both your approach
side and the exit side. If you believe you can
continue safely, decide the path that will
allow you to get over the obstacle at as close
to a right angle as possible to minimize
vehicle tipping. Go only fast enough to
maintain your momentum but still give
yourself plenty of time to react to changes in
conditions. If there is any question about
your ability to maneuver safely over the
obstacle, you should turn around, if the
ground is flat and you have the room, or back
up until you find a less difficult path.
