Bright idea

Send him on a 4×4 training course. With expert in- structors, the courses cater forbeginner and advanced drivers. From R1 000. Try SA Adventure in Gauteng (www.saadventure.co.za), Gear Up 4×4 in Cape Town (www.gearup4x4.co.za), and Stoney Ridge in KwaZulu- Natal (www.stoneyridge.co.za).

Otherwise, ask your vehicle manufacturer about local off-road clubs.
