To drive a 4WD you need to understand that is is a LOT bigger than an average car, it has more inertia, a much higher CofG and much more restricted visibility. How many of them are driven into crowded school areas by young women who have previously driven only bubble cars?
A trailer endorsement would not be a bad idea either really.
On your current license, can you drive a motorcycle, body truck, bus, tractor or semi-trailer? Have you actually driven a LHD vehicle both on the left and right side of the road?
These are all the same aren't they? Why would you need a separate test for each?
On the other hand why bother with a license at all. Every new driver can drive anything perfectly anywhere at anything on pure instinct, just ask them....
