It all seemed pretty mundane at the time, but with all the fatalities, injuries and near misses you get these days. Maybe 4WD's will be the next to have their own class of license.
And so they should, too many yobbo's driving 4x4s in my opinon, one should have to sit a basic course to be able to operate a 3 ton machine that is capable of causing injury.
It wouldn't have to be too involved, just the basics with a high emphasis on safety and have a real person explaining the do's and don'ts of things like recovery and general 4 wheel driving.
