Abstract
Surface obstacles. Unseen or hidden obstacles can be hazardous. Often these obstacles are hidden by grass, bushes, snow, or even the rise and fall of the terrain itself. Some things to consider: Is the path ahead clear? Does the travel take you uphill or downhill? Will you have to stop suddenly or change direction quickly? Driving at night. Remember that the headlamps light up far less of a roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep your eyes moving; that way, it is easier to pick out dimly lighted objects. Just as the headlamps should be checked regularly for proper aim, so should your eyes be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night blindness—the inability to see in dim light—and are not even aware of it. Notice. Overloading your vehicle may cause damage. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. If you put things inside your vehicle—like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else—they go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they will keep going.
