{{intro-notes}}

== Introduction ==

* Being educated is the primary progressive drive of a human being - at lest when his other drives have been (temporarily) fulfilled.
* Being self-taught is a great thing, but it usually leaves a lot of holes in the knowledge and understanding of the matter, and may produce false conclusions and improper skills.
* Proper education in any activity is vital for proper introduction and understanding of the basics.
* The optimal expertise is gained when the self-learning is performed only after going through some formal ground education first.

* Just like in any other activity in life, all terrain driving is also a technique to be learned, and a very complex one.
* Developing bad habits in the beginning can lead to disastrous moves in difficult situations later on.
* Therefore, it is definitely recommended to learn some basic principles first, from acclaimed or authoritative experts.

* The best method of learning is going to an official all terrain training camp, where a real-life professional all terrain driving instructor will drive with you and teach you.
* In the absence of that option, at least viewing some videos or reading some books about proper all terrain driving is strongly recommended.
* Viewing such videos is also quite entertaining!

== The lessons ==

* There are several all terrain driving teaching videos on the Internet.

* Only "Suzuki-branded" teaching videos in all terrain driving have been provided here.
* The lessons are being shown on a Suzuki Samurai, which has the most similar construction and 4WD transmission system design to the Jimny.
* Use Youtube or other services on the Internet to find other learning material (keywords: "4x4 / 4wd / off road" + "driving techniques", "how to drive off road", etc.).

{{warning|These videos explain only the basics - ''do NOT make yourself believe that you are an expert after viewing them!''}}

* Enjoy applying the learned skills from these videos in the practice!
* Thread lightly and learn bit by bit!
* When driving off the road, drive ''as slow as possible and as fast as necessary''!
* Do not drive recklessly off the road like you might seen in all terrain vehicle commercials or in all terrain vehicle reviews!
* Those flicks are intentionally made to be overly pompous and sensational, in order to gain as much revenue through the popularity in the masses.
* In other words:
** Try to have sex like in a porn flick, and you'll end up in a hospital.
** Try to drive like in a test drive flick, and you'll end up in a ditch (or in a service garage).
