    Today, a troopie carrying 8 rolled over near Indian head after hitting a washout. One Japanese tourist is dead thus far. When will these guys learn?? Should you hold the rental companies accountable for the safety message? Should you need to do a day course on 4x4 in order to be...

    I find that a lot of people my age (early 20's) suddenly think oh hey, i have a 4x4 ute that means it can go anywhere, lets go offroad! and end up pissing off a lot of ppl who have to stop and drag them out. They do no research etc and have no idea!
