Other FSR safety advice from Sunshine Coast RCMP:
Sunshine Coast RCMP offer the following reminders when travelling on FSRs:
- Although there is no centre-line, vehicles are required to keep to the right side of the road
- Slow down when approaching blind corners
- All motor vehicles, including dirtbikes and ATVs, require liability insurance, and must carry proof of such at all times
- Be aware of logging trucks, and give them plenty of room to pass
- Impaired driving is illegal on Forest (FSRs), and drivers can receive tickets for other driving offences, such as driving too fast for the conditions
- Cell coverage can be sparse in areas. Ensure someone knows where you’re going and when you expect to return
