Off-Road Driving: Damaging and Illegal
Off-road driving is strictly prohibited in Iceland, and those caught engaging in the activity can face hefty fines of up to 100,000 ISK per person.
Off-road driving can cause irreversible damage to Iceland’s fragile ecosystems, particularly the moss, which takes hundreds of years to grow.
Iceland’s moss plays a vital role in preventing soil erosion and retaining water and humidity, making its preservation crucial.
In 2018, a group of French tourists mistakenly believed off-road driving was allowed in Iceland, causing significant damage and getting stuck, leading to public outcry.
F-Roads: A Legal and Exciting Alternative
F-roads, or mountain roads, can only be accessed by 4x4 vehicles and are open for a limited period each year, typically from July to September.
F-roads are often confused with off-road driving due to their unpaved, rugged appearance and rural settings, but they are legal to drive on.
Some F-roads might require crossing rivers and navigating rough terrain, which is why only 4x4 vehicles are allowed on these roads.
On maps, F-roads are marked with an “F” followed by a number, e.g., “F413”. Some F-roads may not be clearly labeled in person, so always check your route carefully.
Off-roading in Iceland is strictly forbidden.
We’re talking about the cybertruck, no one is going to successfully off road in one of those anyways.
I guess that is why Etterra is betting on it. Maybe to motivate another Darwin Award winner.
