Approaching and driving across a low ridge at an angle, then square down the other side

There are several reasons for crossing a ridge at an angle. It ensures that we are not trapped by our approach angle or by our ramp break over angle (diagonally opposite wheels lift the chassis clear of the ridge). Finally, as we lower ourselves down the other side, we keep the rear number plate or tow hook just clear of the ground where we have our departure angle.

Only cross in this fashion if ground conditions are dry and firm. If slippery, don't attempt to climb up and over at an angle. If you think you are going to be stuck approaching, on the top, or exiting, find an alternative route.
