What body position should you maintain when going down a hill in a four-wheeled vehicle?

Description

Explanation
Correct answer: A sitting position, with the body weight shifted towards the rear axle.
When riding a quad bike downhill, you should shift your body weight as far back as possible. This position puts more weight on the rear axle of the vehicle, which increases the grip of the rear wheels and improves stability. Shifting back counteracts the natural transfer of the centre of gravity forward during a descent, which prevents the risk of flipping over the handlebars.
