Driver Awareness Program
Why should you complete a DAP ?
All new club members need to be aware that in order to take part
in organised club trips other than easy, social, sight-seeing or
eco, they must have completed the club Driver Awareness Program
(DAP).
Exemption may be granted by the DAP Officer for members who have
already completed an
equivalent DAP training course, either with:
-
Another recognised 4WD club;
-
A Commercial training organisation.
-
Defence Force training
may also be recognised.
Proof of completion of such a course needs to be
produced.
Membership of the club is not dependent upon the completion of
the DAP Member may choose not to do the DAP.
In this case members should be aware they are restricted from
driving on some trips organised by the club. This depends
on the track grading.
See the track grading system set out on the
Trip Tips
page.
