Will,
No BSc Degree here, just a mere BA. However, all of my ladders are degree certified.
What I am alluding to here is the fact that as off road driving becomes more popular we will see or hear about more and more people getting themselves into strife.
It costs government a lot of money now to deploy
police and other agencies to look for, recover, and medically repair people, each year, who stuff up. As governments are dollar driven the costs will increase, ultimately, access to the
places we take for granted, will be restricted and eventually denied.
God will never stop making stupid people, however my friend, a stupid person can be taught not to be stupid. Training improves ones knowledge, skills and attitudes, and if done correctly we would see people such as the driver mentioned in this thread, become rare.
I know the O.H. & S. Nazi's are out there and it's becoming ridiculous, but it has it's points. For example I can go and buy a FWD with a winch,go bush and engage the winch, use it incorrectly, injure or kill myself or some other person, then the dollars start to add up. And that's what drives the country dollars!. Whereas, if I was compelled to attend a course of instruction on how to use a winch, and be certified to drive it the same as industry is, it may not have happened.
It's unfortunate, but a minority stuff things up for the majority.
