Just saw this come up on Facebook, what a good idea :)
Limited places, so if you know of someone that fits the age bracket and wants to learn how to properly drive their 4WD, sign them up :)
The course is based around our Recreational ”Introductory Course” but focuses on young drivers that have just passed their road license and who may own or be required to drive a 4WDrive vehicle. The day will start at our training centre in Bellevue with a presentation about the basics of 4WD systems with plenty of practical tips from seating posture and dealing with wildlife whilst driving; to gravel road safety and how to cross water safely. The theory session will be followed by a practical hands-on driving event in a controlled environment incorporating a series of driving exercises including driving on sand, the importance of tyre pressure reductions and how to self-recover a bogged 4WDrive. It will include the proper technique and method for the safe use and correct attachment of a recovery strap when needing to retrieve a bogged vehicle.
I did an all day course when I got my first 4wd. Realised how much I didn't know and how much I was doing wrong.
Highly recommend to anyone that plans to even use a dirt road in their fourbie.
