Information About

Off-road




In some countries, off-road activity may be prohibited in many areas and even where allowed, may require special permits or licenses.

Vehicle off road activities have been criticized by those concerned with environmental damage. The continued use of an area for off road activities can lead to deforestation, loss of top soil, and silting of local waters. The off-road community, however, points out that most off-roading is done responsibly, and that the people who create most of the damage are not conducting themselves responsibly. They argue that the entire off-road community should not be labeled by a few irresponsible individuals. Little can be done about this however, as most see the off-road community as a single collective entity, which further leads to problems in this area. To many extents, this argument will continue in similar categories as Logging or Urban Sprawl debates.
