NSW Quad Bike Safety Improvement Program
Check the quad bike. Is it safe? Do you know what to look for? Then ride the quad bike. Do you know its limitations? What you can and can’t do on it? And when you get back safely, do you have a procedure for shutting it down and making sure it’s ready to go next time you need it? Come to Tocal’s one-day course. We’ll get you sorted.
