Feel free to put up a poll mate, would be interesting to see.

Ive never had any formal training myself just bought up with the old man living and breathing 4wding and touring around Australia and learnt from him and my older brother however.....Some old fashioned traits learnt have and can be your worse enemy.....

How times of changed from practical to health and safety!

Just the other day we got called out to help a local landscape delivery truck get out of a bog and a family member just threw the chain over the tow ball for a light pull....tiss tiss...Was good to tell the old dog off though...LMAO

Hey AB - do polls still work like you're sticky in the polls section? Send you the details?

You might not be able to add a poll once it has been posted, send me what you want mate and I'll add it to the post.

Or you can start a whole new thread and a poll to that one, either way....

I was taught to drive by my Father in a Willeys Jeep at the age of Six.
Obtained my Drivers Licence the day I turned 18 and now have a Heavy Vehicle Drivers Licence.
No formal training other than experience. As Roofy says a lot is Common Sense.
Have driven over most of the High Country without any issues but the same as Roofy I will not attempt anything that I a not confident of Handling.
Having said that I believe that 4WD Courses would be beneficial for those without any experience and perhaps also an old Dog like myself.
If I had $1 for every K that I have driven in my Life I would be a very rich man.

Im new to the 4x4 world my first thing im going to do is join a local club and do the basic coarse.

Great idea Kev. And club training is usually free, which when you look at the cost of driver training - it means in reality your first couple of years as a club member are free.
