Young Blonde Girl In The Rural Area Reveals On The Dirt Unpaved Road In A Black And White Striped Top And Hosiery

Driving on dirt roads requires great attention to variations in the surface and it is easier to lose control than on a gravel road. In addition to the hazards already mentioned, and potholes, ruts and ridges, problems associated with driving on gravel roads include:
• sharper and larger stones cutting and puncturing tires, or being thrown up by the wheels and damaging the underside, especially puncturing the fuel tank if not shielded
• stones skipping up hitting the car body, lights or windshields when two vehicles pass each other
• dust thrown up from a passing vehicle reducing visibility
