Off-road driving is typically more dangerous because of hazards such as large obstacles, rough terrains, and reduced visibility. To mitigate the risks associated with off-roading, standard off-road vehicles come with large tires, open deep treads, and a flexible suspension to enhance balance and safety, according to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Even so, off-road driving comes with risks which include:
Rolling over in slanted areas
Collision with obstacles
Losing car balance in uneven terrains
Punctures and general car damage
