THE NEED FOR TRAINING?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Used correctly, off-road vehicles, or 4 x 4s, are very versatile, with a wide variety of uses. Use with trailers make them even more flexible and effective tools for both business and recreation. But experienced off-road drivers can find themselves in dangerous situations. Serious accidents can and do occur without proper training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training is a legal requirement if you drive off-road for business purposes. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) require employers to provide adequate training and to ensure that 4 x 4s are driven only by employees who have received appropriate training in their safe use, including with trailers. If you are self-employed, the regulations still apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
