Test your brakes from time to
time to make sure they are
operating properly. This will also
give you a feel for how much
traction you have on a given
surface.
Controlling Steering
Unlike driving on pavement,
off-road terrain has a way of
"kicking back." If you hit a rock,
pothole or a sudden change in
surface, it can make the steering
wheel turn rapidly and
unexpectedly. To maintain
control, hold the outside of the
steering wheel firmly with both
hands. Don't hold the spokes or
hook your thumbs inside the
wheel. You could hurt your hands
as well as lose control.
