Then, once your instructor has taken you through the basics of off-road driving techniques, you'll take to the wheel and discover the true potential of a 4x4 vehicle.

Fascinating Facts

Taking a 4x4 over rough terrain can give the driver a desire to explore even wilder locations. The first rule is never to drive faster than is absolutely necessary, and to take obstacles at a slow and steady pace. The second rule is always to prepare for the worst case scenario. In rocky areas drive slowly, and engage low ratio four-wheel drive to give greater vehicle control. In deep V-shaped gullies, be careful not to drop one side of the vehicle into the deepest point; drive with the wheels straddling the gully so as not to end up hopelessly jammed in a position where digging and pushing do not help. Heavily used tracks are often deeply rutted so drive with one wheel in a rut and the other on the hump to prevent the vehicle's undercarriage getting hung up. If negotiating mud, map your route using sticks jammed into the ground to indicate drop-offs and other hazards, mark the exact position the steering-wheel is in when the wheels are pointed dead ahead. It's easy to turn the wheels too far to one side without realising it, as the vehicle continues going in a straight line, getting more bogged by the second. Happy motoring!
