NBT Holds Off-Road Driving Course For 4WD Owners

Tutong - NBT recently held its 5th Basic Four Wheel-Drive Instruction Course at Lubok Pulau in Mukim Tanjung Maya, Tutong District, as part of its efforts to drive customer service and customer satisfaction, a press release stated.

Arranged specially free-of-charge to reward and benefit loyal NBT 4WD buyers who service their vehicles at NBT's Service Centres, the course was aimed at providing owners with the knowledge and skills to safely take their vehicles off-road into the rough and tough terrain that their vehicles are capable of.

"We would like our course participants to realise that their 4WD is actually more fun off the road," said Haji Shahrum Haji Kadir, NBT General Sales Manager, who is also the Course Coordinator and Chief Instructor.

More than 30 participants were introduced to the finer points of 4WD driving by Lt Col Salehin bin Hj Taib of Persatuan Gemilang Tutong, who co-organised the course together with NBT.

During the course of the day, the participants were shown the finer points of Steep Hill Descent, Driving Uphill, Sand Driving & Recovery, and Wheel-Changing Techniques. The latter may sound easy until you actually get down to changing the wheel of a Toyota Landcruiser. But with the right technique, even a petite lady can do it quite easily!

"Each of the above activities requires specialised skills and knowledge that most 4WD owners in Brunei Darussalam have limited opportunities to acquire. They will probably also never discover or appreciate the fun of driving in the rough and tough," said Haji Shahrum who acquired his knowledge and skills from the experts in Sydney, Australia, back in 2003.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
