New club membersAfter joining the club, you are required to complete our Club Induction (C.I.) before attending any trips rated higher than “EASY”. Driver ExperienceConditions on some trips rated MEDIUM or above may prove too difficult for inexperienced drivers even after the Club Induction. You should advise the Trip Leader of your driving experience and vehicle equipment prior to signing up on the trip. Trip RatingsTrip Leaders—it is up to you to correctly rate your trips. Make allowances for effects of weather on your trip and how it can affect the novice 4wders. *NOTE* some 4wds do not have the required recovery points, please contact the Club Induction Assistant if unsure. | Trip Guide LinesBrisbane Four Wheel Drive Club trips are categorised as follows.
