If you are passionate about Buggies and are planning your next adventure, it is important that you have certain questions very clear. We are going to leave you some tips and basic rules necessary to make your Buggy route the best possible experience. Driving a Buggy can be dangerous if not done properly.
On Buggy outings you can enjoy the mountains, travel along roads and forests, and enjoy natural landscapes from privileged points of view. It is also an ideal activity to test your skills behind the wheel of a Buggy on circuits or other terrain where it is more difficult to maneuver. In any case, if you are going to get into a Buggy, you want to know what comes next.
Buggy Driving License
To drive a Buggy it is mandatory to present the type B license, which in addition to allowing you to drive vehicles also enables you to drive motorized tricycles and quadricycles. The same case is repeated with the Quads. It is possible that in some locations, in addition to having a license, you are required to have a minimum of one or two years of volenate experience or even a minimum age of 25 years. However, normally, being of legal age and having a type B license is enough to be able to get on a Buggy.
Everything You Need to Know to Drive a Buggy Safely
Always drive defensively. These vehicles usually go completely unnoticed by other drivers both due to their characteristics and because they are very close to the ground. When there are more vehicles around you should never assume that others are seeing you. It seems silly but it will prevent accidents.
Don't make sharp turns on any type of terrain. It doesn't matter if you go fast or slow, you should not make sharp turns because the Buggy can overturn. The Buggy has a considerable weight and if it tips over on a person, it could cause serious injuries.
Pay close attention to the reaction of understeer or oversteer, and for this he practices a lot the braking that is used in rallies. Which is it? You must step on the brake with your left foot, and even if you have less stability you will gain force.
To make jumps safely, increase the speed progressively until you reach the one that allows you to land and take off without putting yourself in danger. One piece of advice we give you is to release the accelerator a little before jumping and step on it again when you reach the obstacle.
Always use established routes If you are driving a Buggy in an area that has a marked route, be it beach or mountain. This way, you can avoid the sand dunes and also cross paths with possible pedestrians.
Use common sense. The use of mobile phones or driving under the influence of alcohol is completely prohibited. Do not take any action that could reduce your attention behind the wheel or impair your driving.
Additionally, and to make your experience the best possible, we give you the following: recommendations:
- Before getting on the buggy, read the manual carefully or, failing that, listen carefully to the guide.
