Off-Road Driving Laws

Which driving laws apply to you when off-road?  What's the speed limit?  Simply put, off-roaders have a duty to drive as a reasonable person would under the circumstances.  This means driving at a reasonable speed, yielding, stopping, based on trail and traffic conditions and based on the vehicle you are driving.  A driver also has a duty to avoid crashing the vehicle or causing a collision with other vehicles or objects.

Drivers should ensure that their vehicle is in safe and proper working condition for the type of trail to be tackled.  

Driving under the influence while operating an off-road is just like a DUI in any other vehicle on any other roadway. It is unlawful for a person to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug if the person is impaired to the slightest degree.
