PERSONAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Four-wheeling involves people: drivers, passengers and bystanders. These safety recommendations are suggested to help in the protection of the people involved, both directly and in association with the vehicle.
-
No four-wheeling should be done on club runs without two or more vehicles taking part.
-
All passengers should be afforded the protection of roll bars. In the absence of a full roll cage bar, the windshield should be removed or latched down. (Especially applicable in the sand dune areas.)
-
No standing in vehicle while it is in motion.
-
Loose objects such as passenger seats, toolbox, ice box and spare tire should be firmly secured.
