Evenin' all,
After ranting a bit earlier, I found myself with some spare time tonight and thought I would start putting together SOMETHING, to at least perhaps educate a few people. I've no idea what I'm going to do with it yet, but hopefully the idea will kick some ar$e$ into gear with the organisations that SHOULD be doing things like this.
Anyway, I'm after
feedback on THIS. This is a work in progress, so please bear with me.
Apologies to those not as affected by this as us in
Sydney, but please don't criticism me for doing something. Just ignore it as you do the 4WD bashings and move on.
I've got the following topics I want to add some truth to. Please feel free to suggest some more.
4WD are twice as likely to kill a pedestrian
4WD cause more deaths in driveways
4WD kill a higher % of people in accidents
Gas-guzzling behemoths (my personal favourite)
Those 4WD's are a menace (by David Koch)
Why are 4WD's becoming so popular
Shopping carts
Danger of a 4WD vs Torago, MPV or Voyager
As
well as some positives about:
The good work clubs and organisations do for the community
4WD users such as
Police, Fire, Rangers, NRMA, Surf Life Savers
Lifestyles of families with 4WD's
Eventually I may set up a website on the benefits of owning a 4wd. Sort of a 4WD appreciation group. (Shouldn't this exist already by the way?)
All comments appreciated, but please don't waste your time by telling me how pointless this is. Also, if anyone can give me some contacts for whatever groups are SUPPOSED to be representing us, I'd be greatful for that. I thought there was supposed to be a National 4WD Council or something and what about the recreational activies lobby group or something.
Cheers all.
Smocky.
