What is the maximum speed for driving an MTV in sand conditions?

The maximum speed for driving a Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV) in sandy conditions is 12 mph. This speed is set to ensure safety and vehicle control in challenging terrain, where traction can be limited and the risk of getting stuck is high. The reduced speed helps the operator maintain better handling of the vehicle and allows for quicker responses to changes in the driving surface. Driving at higher speeds in sand could lead to loss of control, particularly when encountering soft spots or sudden changes in terrain, which can be dangerous for both the operator and the vehicle. Therefore, adhering to this speed limit is crucial for effective operation and safety in sandy driving conditions.
