VIC WIDMAN ENDORSES MILFORD "LIFESAVERS"
 The
owner of Australia's largest 4WD driver training and tagalong tour
business, Vic Widman, believes cargo barriers are real life savers.
A witness to some frightening accidents and incidents over the years,
Vic believes in taking safety seriously and strongly recommends the
use of approved cargo barriers.
His own Toyota Landcruiser is fitted with an Australian-made Milford
cargo barrier, as are all the 4WD vehicles used by his team of instructors.
"Every 4WD station wagon should have one fitted before it leaves
the showroom," he maintains. "Accidents can happen anywhere, even
on suburban streets. In certain accidents, cargo barriers have been
of more benefit in saving people from death or injury than their
seat belts - yet barriers are not even compulsory!"
Widman recommends four wheel drivers check the Milford website
for documented reports of the Milford cargo barrier performing a
lifesaving role in 4WD rollovers and accidents. He says the message
about their worth is slowly getting through, and an increasing percentage
of 4WD owners are using the cargo barriers.
He adds, "Safety in the passenger compartment is a priority, because
of the heavy gear like fridges, recovery equipment, tools and camping
items carried in the cargo area. Drivers must realise it is vital
to fit an Australian Standards approved barrier such as the Milford
product".
He points out that on trips when only two adults are travelling,
it makes sense to fit the Milford cargo barrier behind the front
seats, making the rear cargo area larger. "In some vehicles, it's
simple to remove the rear seats altogether, giving more room for
gear. Access via the side or rear doors makes the 4WD wagons a great
choice for outback trips," he advised.
