Re: 4x4 Regulation
Now that is a good motivation, for those who have not yet joined, to join the Nissan 4x4 club.ricster wrote:The nice thing of being a member of the Nissan 4x4 Club is that, thanks to Nissan SA, we will be able to offer the DCC courses to the club guys for next to nothing cost wise. I can understand why there is a high fee involved..... you should see the paperwork the assessors and trainers have to do for every applicant.....
Nissan SA has really come on board with us here on this.....

Re: 4x4 Regulation
Yep, what Cedric said! To get the certification you require three things:ricster wrote:The nice thing of being a member of the Nissan 4x4 Club is that, thanks to Nissan SA, we will be able to offer the DCC courses to the club guys for next to nothing cost wise.

- Theoretical knowledge: Everyone will have to pass a theoretical exam on 4x4 driving, vehicles types, tyres, suspension systems, drive-trains, environment, etc. Glyn's been working hard on this course material and it's looking very good.
- Experience: We''ll be tracking club member's attendance to the various events we hold throughout the year to provide this evidence. Each bloke (or blokette) requires validated experience as part of the certification process, so these will count.
- Practical assessment: Four committee members have already attended the assessor training and are awaiting final accreditation. We'll then be able to assess paid-up Nissan 4x4 members so that you don't have to go "outside".

Re: 4x4 Regulation
I both hate and like the regulations...
The part I like is that we "might" be able to get rid of some very senseless (and scary) drivers. I have seen once too many how lack of knowledge/skill and abundance of liquor caused some real hairy situations.
The part I do not like is that the article reads :
Dit vereis dat ’n persoon wat in hierdie gebiede wil ry, ’n basiese kennis van die omgewing en die meganika van sy voertuig moet hê.
Die kwalifikasie vereis opleiding waarop ’n eksamen volg en sal periodiek hernu moet word.
This implies that every time someone goes to a new area (even if they've been there before) they have to do another course and exam. If it is implemented as a quick questionnaire before entering the area, then I'm happy. But if this is going to be one of those: make an appointment two weeks in advance, spend three days doing a course and then a written exam, then not cool. I have no interest in driving down to an area two weeks prior to my trip to sort out licensing, then have to struggle with bad service, all just so I can spend one long weekend camping for instance....
How are they planning to implement this? Anyone have more information?
