Poor Driving Skills & Habits = HIGH Operational Costs:
Does your organisation have high vehicle-maintenance costs? Poorly trained drivers’ attitudes and skill levels are primary and direct contributors. Here are several common examples you may have noticed:
- High Fuel Consumption.
- Excessive Tyre, Clutch & Brake Wear.
- Collisions (including rolling vehicles).
- Excessive Overhauls (Gearbox, Engine).
A 4wd is Not a 2wd
Operating an off-road vehicle effectively requires special techniques that need to be learnt and practised. Incorrect use of an off-road vehicle is life threatening. Research shows that 4wd vehicles are more likely to roll over than other lightweight vehicles.
- A 4wd has a higher centre of gravity.
- A 4wd may not hug the road as well.
- An improperly loaded 4wd is more likely to roll after a sudden evasive manoeuvre or fast cornering.
