scan the terrain for obstacles.
D you have less time to react. D you have more vehicle bounce when you drive

D you'll need more distance for braking, especially
since you're on an unpaved surface.
Getting Familiar with Off-Road Driving
It's a good idea to practice in an area that's safe and close to home before you go into the wilderness. Your eyes, for example, need to constantly sweep the terrain for unexpected obstacles. With your arms, hands, feet and body, you'll need to respond to vibrations and vehicle bounce.
CAUTION:
When you're driving off-road, bouncing and quick changes in direction can easily throw you out of position. So, whether you're driving on or off the road, you and your passengers should wear safety belts.

Scanning the Terrain
Off-road driving can take you over many different kinds of terrain. You need to be familiar with the terrain and its many different features. Off-roading can take you over hard-packed dirt, gravel, rocks, grass, sand, mud, snow or ice. Each of these surfaces affects the steering, acceleration and braking of your vehicle in different ways. Depending upon the kind of surface you are on, you may experience slipping, sliding, wheel spinning, delayed acceleration, poor traction and longer braking distances. A rock, log, hole, rut or bump can startle you if you're not prepared for them. Often these obstacles are hidden by grass, bushes, snow or even the rise and fall of the terrain itself. Here are some things to consider:
When you drive over obstacles or rough terrain, keep a firm grip on the steering wheel. Ruts, troughs or other surface features can jerk the wheel out of your hands if you're not prepared. When you drive over bumps, rocks, or other obstacles, your wheels can leave the ground. If this happens, even with one or two wheels, you can't control the vehicle as well or at all. Because you will be on an unpaved surface, it's especially important to avoid sudden acceleration, sudden turns or sudden braking. In a way, off-road driving requires a different kind of alertness from driving on paved roads and highways. You have to use your own good judgment about what is safe and what isn't. At the very time you need special alertness and driving skills, your reflexes, perceptions and judgment can be affected by even a small amount of alcohol. You could have a serious -- or even fatal -- accident if you drink and drive or ride with a driver who has been drinking. See "Drunken Driving" in the Index.
