Sandy drives are fun to be a part of but when so many vehicles are driving in the same area the place is bound to get crowded. Drivers can get awfully impatient and unfortunate incidents can occur. Not only does the car crowding look like a showroom of <\/span>used cars for sale<\/span><\/a> in Dubai but it is also a catalyst for nasty car fights. In such cases, knowing the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts can come in handy!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Your vehicle must be in good shape<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Make sure that your car is in the best condition possible before heading out to the sandy surfaces. A flat tire? Fix it. A bad wheel job? Get a better one. Have your car checked by a credible professional before heading out. The better the condition of your car is, the lesser the chances of it getting stuck in the sand.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1.    <\/span> Relax if you do get stuck<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you do get stuck, don\u2019t worry. In most cases, recovery can be done quite simply. Re-check the pressure of your tires. The increase in tyre pressure changes the tyre\u2019s footprint and makes it difficult to drive around. So, if you do find yourself in a bit of a \u201cstucky\u201d situation, check your tyre pressure before asking for help.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1.    <\/span> Let the air out <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If you find that that pressure indeed is the problem, then drop the pressure levels in the tyres. Much lower than the levels you would use on the pavement. Around 12-15 psi is good enough. Letting the air out inflates the tyre\u2019s footprint, allowing it to glide on the sand instead of rooting out a trench.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1.   <\/span> Avoid sharp turns<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Wheels take a lot of push when taking a turn as compared to going straight. Driving on sand and taking frequent turns is a double no. If your wheels start getting stuck then start straightening them out before taking a turn again.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1.  <\/span> Don\u2019t try to drive yourself out<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If you get stuck in the mud, try not to spin your tyres. The spinning motion causes the wheels to stick further in the sand. In such cases, drop the pressure levels immediately. Wetting the sandy surface to lift the tyres is also a great option. <\/span><\/p>\n

            The most important thing to remember is not to panic and relax. Driving on a sandy surface requires even greater car expertise than driving on the pavement. We hope you will give these tips a try to make things easier and safer for you.
