• All drivers and passengers must wear seatbelts at all times, both on and off road.

• All normal road rules (including traffic signals, signs, speed limits etc) must be obeyed.

• The Trip Leader is in charge of the trip, and so his instructions must be followed.

• If additional instruction is required (ie. when during recoveries), then the "Tail End Charlie" is 2IC (second in command)

• If still more instruction is required, then Members of GoBush are able to provide assistance to Visitors (ie. the visitors must follow instruction from members)

• Snatch strap recoveries are particularly important, and the person in charge of the recovery is responsible for making sure that everyone is a safe distance away from the recovery, and that Safe recovery points are used (ie. definitely NO tow balls!)

• Hill recoveries are also of particular importance to make sure that everyone is a safe distance away (to avoid injury from runaway vehicles, rollovers, or snapped winch lines etc)

• On trips with a difficulty rating of 3 or 4 stars (*** / ****) you are required to have at least one rated recovery point fitted to your vehicle, either front or rear.
  

• On trips with a difficulty rating of 5 stars (*****) you are required to have front and rear rated recovery points fitted to your vehicle.

• It is recommended that all vehicles have a UHF CB or hand held radio, and a basic first aid kit.

• It is recommended that all visitors consider attending a 4WD course, like the one run by our member Eric at Austracks
