Default Defensive driving

I don’t really know what to say...

I’m an active member of a WW2 Jeep club here in Australia and although I don’t currently drive one (At 6’6 and 140 kg I’m building one with custom features) I do travel a fair bit in them

I’m not aware of any actual issues which would cause any of our members to give up driving their Jeeps rain, Hail or shine through hundreds or even thousands of miles of public roads.

As long as one is aware of the vehicles’s limitations and is a diligent and defensive driver accidents are rare.

Of course there are near misses from other less skilled or less caring drivers, but I get that even in my modern Toyota Landcruiser.

Just my thoughts but I do find it sad to think of enthusiasts giving up on their belived vehicles our wonderful hobby out of fear of the unknown.

‘Drive them Jeeps’

Cheers

Phill
