Hi all,
The anti-4WD banter must be considered worthy of the news media. I have NineMSN website setup as
my home page. They have a daily survey and today's gem is "Should 4WD owners pay more to have their cars in the city" (or words to that effect).
When I cast my vote the count was YES = 14,000 NO = 17,500
I don't know who requests or uses this info, though I suspect it is for their own use to gauge relative interest and devisiveness of the issue, likely in response to all the other rubbish being reported.
Anyhow, if you want to cast a vote visit their
home page. At least this is an opportunity for us to express our view via the vote key and if enough of us respond then maybe Nine will think this is a dead issue. I suspect if the numbers remain about even they'll think this an issue to keep stirring!

G'day, I think this may have been in response to Nth
Sydney Council, whom has doubled
parking fees for 4wd's.
It's an interesting action, but I think most people are going to see straight through their "it's an environmental thing" argument.
It's ceretainly stirred up some publicity for them and got their insignificant names in the paper. 'B' list celebrities do things like this all the time when the "conveniently" get photographed without a top on. It's called doing something controvesial to draw attention to yourself.
Anyway, have voted here at work, will walk around and vote on everyone elses Pc's here at work and will do so at
home as
well.
The only thing worthy of consideration in the whole debate is having either different
driver training or a different class of license. I agree with that. You shouldn't learn in an automatic Mitsubishi Mirage then jump straight into Dad's V8 Landie.
Cheers all, stay safe.
