Have just watched in stunned disbelief, the show...Today Tonight.......and then had a good laugh.
Some yobbo who thinks he is god is trying to decree that all 4wd drivers should have a "special license" to drive a 4by.
shown were a few glimpses of a 4by in a crash
test, a 4by doing a flying leap(looked to be in the USA), and finally three different people driving a 4by on a slalom course.( u know......in and out the witches hats..).
the learner is way out of her depth and hasn't a clue,,,,considering she is being taught to drive in a "little car".
the "p" plater,,,is just a bloke who thinks he is indestructable.
and the old bloke,,,,he's been around for awhile,,,and i fail to see how he could condone the article in the first place, especially as the slalom is set up at widths for a standard
sedan,,,,,and not for a 4by.
who in their right mind would drive like they are in a slalom event on the road anyway???
and how you define a 4by,,,,anything with high range,,,,,,wait for all the ""toorak tourer" drivers to start screaming.....can't have that,,,the government would lose to much money.....hang on.....
how about anything with low range.....hmmmmm.could be onto something here.
get rid of all the bigugly "real 4by's" off the road,,,and just have the " soft roaders".
hmmmmmmm.. problem again,,,,some of those "soft roaders" are getting real big lately. darn,darn,,,,,darn,,,,
what to do???????????
i know,i know,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,make em ALL have a "special " license.........more money for the government........yay,,,i like this idea....................................NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if this government want"s you and me and everyone else to have a "special "license,,,,then tell em to get ........................d
how about we have a "special license to drive a ute?????????? it is a commercial vehicle after all.
and one for any thing with a turbo?????? lots of power to handle there now...
and one for anything with a V8,,,,,,my o my,,,,,
and anything with a diesel motor....they are different to drive than a pertol motor..............
can't forget the big ole six cylinder either can we,,,,,some of them really boogie along.......ohhhhh,,,,,,,,,i'm drooling from all the revenue this will bring the government.......
and the motorbikes,,,,,ohhhhhhhhh,,,,don't get me started........oh ok then if you insist........
some of these machies are just racing bikes with number plates.........faster than anything else on the road,,,,,ohhhhh,,,all the different licenses we could make up with them.....yum,,,,yum,,,,all that money to good ole Howie and his cronies.....
the sale of 4by's has increrased dramatically over the last few years,,,it is reasonable to assume that more of them are going to get involved in "altercations" with other vehicles.
wether you own a " soft roader" or a "real 4wd. this is going to concern you,,,,,,do something about it.
we are a powerfull majority,,,,,lets put our vote to some good for us for a change.....
