    Yep seen that and don't know why I never showed it here. Cheers TC, one very lucky guy indeed. Someone should have atleast told him he was not in line before going down though.

    You can really blame this on driver inexperience.

    I really think people that have not had a lot of experience in 4WDing need to get some time up before tackling challenges like gunshot etc. Driver education through a course and some short trips should be the minimum.

    My 2cents

    I agree TC, we should organise a category of courses and contacts around each capital city to help new 4x4 drivers.

    Good thinking 99.

    I wonder if any newby 4WDers would be interested in teaming up with more experienced drivers for a weekend away driver training. You could probably mix it up a little and hold it over a couple of weekends on different terrain such as bush and beach, include basic recovery techniques, night driving, nav and vehicle maintenance, similar to the way all drivers in the army do a week long course before they can drive a land rover. This would also be a great social experience as at the end of the days driving there would always be the obligatory beer and BBQ.

    This is one of the benefits of joining a 4WD club, doing the clubs basic driver training program is mandatory before you can attend any trips that require low range. After the driver training you are encouraged to go on a few trips and put into practice what you've just learnt, and do it all in the company of other friendly like minded people. For a novice it's a great introduction to 4WDing.

    Agreed 100% Tony, for any new 4wd owners reading this you will learn so much by joining a local club with sensible knowledgable drivers to teach you and make some friends.

    I couldn't think of anything worse then a new 4wd owner just hitting the tracks without any basic knowledge.

    Extremely dangerous!
