Petition calls for 4wd-free zones

Vince,

That would make it a tad hard to pick the kids up from school and then go to the shops to feed them LOL

Cheers Kev

I couldn't fiund the articles in the website you have provided or am I looking in the wrong place?

4WDs? does that include AWDs as well? A number of car manufacturers are producing AWDs many of which are prestige vehicles

Gee, all the private school car parks will be empty ! Porche Cayenne,BMW X5,Audi,Toureg,Lexus!

LOL

Agree with Willem. Cant find reference on that site?

It will never happen. There are too many 4wds and AWD's here.

Mind you there are more jealous loonies than 4wds so I suppose .....

Maybe we should apply for a zone free of metrosexuals, bleep s and bludgers, hey.
Or run over their pushbikes by mistakes.
Its hard to soar like an eagle if you are surrounded by turkeys......

Buses are bigger and more of a hazard than 4WD's.
Are they going to ban them to?

Might be a good start to those over weight kids and exercise.

Those women that live 250mts from a school and leave it to the last minute to get to break neck speed and look straight ahead are the ones that should be banned.

Banned from the roads and school zones.

If they're banning 4WD's because their obstructs the view by drivers in sedans and because 4WDs have limited visibility, then they'll also have to ban people-movers, delivery vans, large trademens utilities etc.

But I suppose logic won't be used in making this decision.

Is this newspaper a reputable publication? Or is it simply trying to get sales?
As some one wrote above, if they banned 4wds from private schools then the car parks would be empty. The parents would have to buy sedans meaning Lexus, Range Rover and BMW would lose sales. I can't see it happening.

I suppose what this does show is there are a lot of people out there who hate 4wds and it's up to the good, bush-loving people to be even more responsible on the roads than we are already.

Vince,
I wonder if that would include Ambulances...Most of them are 4wds as well.
Some people have nothing better to do.

Rob

Trying to remember the figures I saw a month or so back. Of total new vehicle registrations in 2007 in Oz, 4WD's represented something in the region of 30%+ ..and growing annually.
No pollie is going to pi** off that many people to apease the tree huggers.
Sorry bout that 'arrold.

Are four-wheel drives a disgusting blight on the earth and should there be restrictions (and even additional taxes) on their use in cities? Are they justifiable on safety grounds? Or do you simply own one and see it as a fun option for weekends and holidays?
