- Radiator puncture risk: Increases significantly on rocky tracks.
- Engine overheating: Immediate risk due to coolant loss.
- Expensive bills: High roadside recovery and repair costs.
- Reduced vehicle lifespan: Damage occurs under harsh off-road use.
- Loss of confidence: Worrying about hits reduces off-road driving enjoyment.
