If you take great pride in your car, you’ll know that the temptation of offroading adventures can be counteracted by fear of damaging your vehicle. Off-roading is an awesome experience that will really show you what your car can do - but of course, you’re putting your car at risk of expensive damage when you commit to an off-roading trip!
In today’s story, we will give you the best of both worlds: you can go off-roading while giving your car the best chance of coming out unscathed.
Let’s get started: here are 3 tips for safe offroading.
Invest in clear bra paint protection.
If you’ve never heard of clear bra paint protection, listen up. A clear bra service is essentially a wrap-around service that covers your car’s paint and glasswork in a clear plastic film that is invisible to onlookers. Your car looks the same as it did in the showroom, no matter where you take it.
For off-roading, clear bra paint protection is the best of both worlds. Any scratches or impact will be absorbed by the clear plastic film, not your car’s actual paintwork. That way you can drive through forests, over rocks, through rivers, and in intense mud without being concerned about an expensive paint job waiting for you afterward.
Speak to an expert about the right tires for off-roading.
Bursting or losing a tire while off-roading is one way to turn your trip from fun to disaster in two seconds flat. If you aren’t sure which tires will serve you best during an off-roading trip, you should speak to an expert. This might be someone who works for the car company that manufactured your car, or an off-roading specialist that can be found online.
It will also be helpful to let this person know where you will be driving, and the kind of terrain you expect. Will the terrain be rocky, muddy, sandy, snowy, or a mixture? This is all useful information to pick out the best tires for your trip.
Get some practice off-roading before you go on a big adventure.
Driving off the beaten track is a skill that requires practice and attention. Your concentration, driving style, and ability to problem-solve on the fly will all be tested when you drive off-road. You will be required to drive in a way that compliments your chosen environment, and that means getting to know your car inside and out - how it moves on different grounds, and how it needs to be driven to get through challenging environments.
It is vital that if you think off-roading might provide more “freedom” than a typical highway, you are correct, but only to a point. While a car accident injury attorney might not be much use if you get into an accident while off-roading, safety is still the name of the game, which is why you must get to grips with how the car feels. If you have only just bought your car, take it off-roading in beginners’ terrain, for short trips, before you embark on a full-on adventure. Not only will that make you feel more confident in your ability, but it will also help you to keep the car safe while you’re off the beaten track.
Final Thoughts
Going off-roading is a great experience, but it’s understandable that you will worry about your car if you are new to driving off-road. Use this guide to help you keep your car in good condition while you explore!
