Don't Drink and Drive

Alcohol is a leading cause of

death and injury off-road as well

as on-road. Alcohol reduces your

ability to think clearly and react

quickly. Fatigue and drugs, legal

or illegal, can have similar effects.

If you aren't sober or in good

physical and mental condition,

don't drive.

Getting Ready to Drive Off-Road

Before leaving on a brief off-road

excursion or an extended

overnight trip, you need to make

sure you and your vehicle are both

prepared.

Planning a Trip

When making your plans,

remember that it's best to travel

with at least one other vehicle in

case you have trouble, and always

let someone else know where

you're going and when you

expect to return.

Whatever your destination, we

recommend that you get maps of

your route so you can study the

terrain, talk with other drivers

who are familiar with the location,

and find out in advance if you

need any special permits. Then,

shortly before you leave, get the

latest weather predictions for your

destination, and check on any

closures that could affect your

plans.

There are many sources that can

help you plan a trip. The U.S.

Forest Service, Bureau of Land

Management, motor vehicle

bureaus, and park and recreation

departments can provide maps
