Roadbook Danger Levels (! / !! / !!!)

Rally organisers grade hazards in the roadbook with exclamation marks. One mark (Danger 1) means pay attention, two (Danger 2) means slow down clearly, and three (Danger 3) means a real risk of a heavy crash, such as a hidden drop, a deep hole or a sharp dune edge.

In big rally-raids, Danger 3 notes are typically linked to a GPS safety waypoint, so the navigation unit enforces a speed limit or makes sure you approach the spot carefully.

Practical tip: mark Danger 2 and 3 boxes with a highlighter while preparing the roadbook and start braking before the distance shown, not at it – trip meters are never perfectly accurate.
