How do you say "drive off a cliff" in Spanish?

Question

I drove off a cliff.

I know "conducir" is one verb for to drive but I'm not sure it also implies the concept of off. Is there a specific verb in Spanish for "drive off"? Not in the context of speed or on a street or leaving a person or thing but off a ledge or cliff. (I know who'd be silly to do that! But for now this is the context)

A second sentence is I drove my motorcycle off the cliff. So does the verb change if other words are between drove and off? I may not be wording this very well, sorry.

My attempts:

1 - Me conduje un acantilado.

2 - Me conduje mi motocicleta de un acantilado.

¡Gracias por cualquier ayuda!

Answer 1

Maybe there is a different way of saying, but how about this:

Me caí por un acantilado/precipicio conduciendo/manejando el coche/el carro/la moto/el camión.

I think the verb is caer -- fall. Both you and Q have used it. I'll try this! Gracias! - bandit51jd, Jul 27, 2011

Answer 2

It could be interpreted on this way:

"Perdí el control de mi motocicleta en un precipicio"

So the only changes are not to use the "me" and to use the preposition "en" rather than "de"! Muchas gracias, fifuentesh! - bandit51jd, Jul 27, 2011

look at the gintar answer! I think it is more accurate! - fjfuentesh, Jul 27, 2011

se tiró con el coche desde el precipicio

Doesn't seem to carry the meaning of you drove off the cliff on purpose (if you did)

Un coche cae por un precipicio en Mataleñas

Darn I did it again. In my intro I should have said the context was of driving off a cliff by accident! But anyway, it seems caer - to fall iimplies off and I think that's what I need! Gracias! - bandit51jd, Jul 27, 2011

Answer 4

That is if you didn't do it on purpose:

Se fue con el coche precipicio abajo.
