Proceed on foot
Everyone should get out of the vehicle before the driver negotiates a dangerous section of the track. One person can easily guide the driver over the difficult stretch. In such situations every movement of the vehicle and tyres should be closely watched. Sometimes it may be necessary to smooth or build up the track before proceeding — whether you push on or retrace your route sometimes depends on how adventurous and imaginative you are!
At the start of a steep incline, be sure to check the brakes and the steering and, if you have a low-ratio gear, use it to reduce the pressure on the engine and brakes. Before you attempt going down a steep hill be sure that your vehicle is able to make the journey back up again. Don’t forget that it’s always easier for a vehicle to climb a hill when its load is light.
