Where a quad bike operator undertakes a task (such as spraying or mustering) while operating a quad bike, their skill level needs to be higher than that required for simple riding. Multi tasking increases risk because the operator may focus on the task rather than operating the vehicle. Mustering provides a good example of this. Quad bike operators focus on the livestock rather than the ground they are riding over and may not be aware of unexpected surface changes or obstacles. To increase your safety when mustering or performing other multi tasking activities, maintain slow speed and seek a path over the terrain that provides the best visibility of any potential obstruction or hazard.
