Well,I dont listen to our local radio stn as the usual brekky crew are a buch of drop kicks,and this mornings quick tune in summed them right up..They were conducting a phone poll to see what people thought of the driving antics and agression of 4wder's..We didnt quite hear it as wifey and
i were discussing work related dramas,but a 4wder rang in and cut them up in flames...uuu beauty,if you laid eyes on this pair you'd see why they got a job on radio,they aint no Kate moss and Brad Pitt.

Hi All what a load of crap, try getting a licence to drive a semi, peace of bleep little bit of traing and you can drive these huge things, and they say people with 4wd need training or should do a driving course, I aggree that there are very good driver training around for 4wds and some peolple do need to be trained as they think they can be driven like a normal sedan, eg braking distance top heavy etc, but there are some pretty agro truck drivers out there as well including courier drivers in pantecks, high roofed vito's and ford transit vans, maybe they need some driver training as well or maybe the idiots driving the normal sized vehicles eg commodores falcons camrys etc need some driver training on how not to dive in front of a semi when it's trying to pull up at lights, and not to unertake a semi when it's trying to turn, or pull out in front of a truck from a side street then decide to right on a main road. The list goes on. Every body has driving faults not just people in 4wds. Oh and by the way I'm not overweight, I'm not homophobic, and I do find the aboriginal culture to be very interesting, and I only earn an average wage. Yes I drive a 4wd and it uses less fuel than my commodore. What a crock of bleep , and yes I have a semi licence as well. Have a good day to you all

Well I'm an agressive 4wder... Maybe we need training for people who drive magnas on country roads!?
I was driving out to York on Saturday and there were NO LESS than 14 cars cued up behind this late model magna station wagon who was doing between 60 an 70km/hr (depending on corners) in a 110km/hr zone!! No regard for anyone else, it's a windey hilly stretch of road with no overtaking oppertunities and this bird didn't give a rats about the 14 cars behind her!

So yes I am aggressive... When the ONE overtaking lane FINALLY came up and we all scootled past her I let the air horns (that just happen to be pointing towards the left) rip at her drivers door. I felt kind of bad at first as the swerved all over the road when I blasted them, but I got over it pretty quick as she obivously doesn't give a crap about anyone else so why should I give a crap about her. Maybe she learnt a lesson...

Yeah Iv come accross that before, but you were lucky normally they speed up as it comes to the overtaking lanes so then you have to break the speed limit to get past them.And believe me when your in a 2.8 diesel lux with a full load it bleep es you right off when they do it as your flat knackers at 115/120 trying to round them up, and you bet your life on it if you dont get past them they slow back down again so your stuck behind them, that's when I become aggresive and all they can see when or if they look out there rear view mirror is a dirty black steel arb bull bar sitting up their date with the ipf's lit up, so yeah I suppose I get aggresive too but some of them deserve it.

LMAO, yep that's it and yeah they did speed up when everyone started passing them. Always notice those overtaking lanes are up hill?!
Out of EVERYTHING on and off road overtaking is the ONLY time I hate having an Automatic Diesel... Loaded up with roof rack and all the stupid surf wants to do is rev it's nuts off! I mean HELLO, you're a diesel, stay in toruqe lock you stupid mongral!

Know exactly what you mean. I once started 10 car’s back and me and this other guy Risked owe ass’s getting parts these 10 car’s as the first 3 were too bleep scared to overtake 1 car and a car caravan (obviously), that were sitting on 70 in a 110 zone.

After some 3 missed opportunities for the front of the group to act, on the next big straight I had, had enough and just floored it, me and this other guy in a SS commodore just made it past. I learnt 2 thing’s 1st that the explore gets up and moves when motivated 2nd that the RPM needle will go past the 6000rpm mark and Max out somewhere off the gauge.

Come to think of it, I think it was on that No crash day we had a wile ago, Oh well just doing my part to keep the roads safe and uphold the 4WD reputation.

Hi I drive three vehicles,a bus, a Landcruiser and a Daihatsu Coure. I get different levels of respect depending which vehicle I drive.
Regarding 4WDs? Do the media include all those fancy sedans that have 4WD.
I'm suprised that they not had a SMS survey at 55c a SMS. Those TV stations must be making a fortune out of the gullable public with their 55c SMSs
