Driving Safely

Driving on Slippery Surfaces

Whenever driving on slippery or loose surfaces such as wet trails,

gravel, snow or ice, follow these precautions:
1. Slow down before driving onto slippery surfaces.
2. Use extra caution.
3. Be alert. Watch the trail. Avoid quick, sharp turns.

NOTE: To correct a rear wheel skid, turn the handlebars in the same

direction as the skid and shift body weight forward.

WARNING

Failure to exercise care when operating on slippery surfaces can

result in loss of tire traction and cause loss of control, accident,

and serious injury or death.
Never apply the brakes during a skid. Do not operate on

excessively slippery surfaces. Always reduce speed and use

additional caution.
