A Quad Drive (WA)
open day for club members and non-members
to cover the basics of driving in soft sand,
including sand dunes and beach driving.
(See
clubs)
The most important point is not to get side-on to the slope which would likely lead to a roll-over. Some throttle will probably be necessary to overcome drag from loose sand and to give steering.
Care should be taken approaching the edge of a dune as
glare from the sun and the lack of features on the sand can deceptive -
there could be a serious drop.
despite what you see in movies (and some irresponsible ad's) standard 4WDs can only stand minor jumps without serious damage.
With a little care, great fun can be had. Thanks to Quad Drive for pictures.
