Simple Tip

Driving off road is mainly an ongoing risk assessment process.

Speed is not your friend and its often shedding excess speed that causes problems.

Imagine a telepgraph pole across a muddy track
Not as problem at all if crawling along at tickover - just roll over it
but faster and you stand to damage the car and hurt the occupants !

And of course - sudden braking on mud can send you into a slide, or even a roll if there's a slope.

So slow and cautious is the rule.

I've taught quite a few newcomers how to drive off road now.
The telegraph pole story seems to be one that everybody grasps straight away.
