HERE WE GO AGAIN - BAN THE 4WD FROM THE CITY bla bla

You would think it a slow news week..


Wonder what would happen if 4wd association said Sorry?

I wonder how the ban would be received b executives that drive into work in their BMW X5, Volvo XC90, Lexus (AKA rebadged Landcruiser).

I suppose 4WDs do take up too much space on the roads and restrict visability for other drivers. Lets ban them and put their drivers into more suitable vehicles like a Hi Ace, a Tarago, a ute with a pantec body, a Coaster bus, a motorhome or maybe even a B double, There are thousands of them in the city, everyone can see they don't restrict anything and not even Clover complains about them.

What is going on in Sydney? Is it a full moon tonight or, as the late radio announcer John Pearce would say, high tide on the Parramatta River!

My Patrol is always in 2wd around the city so I guess I would be excempt also....hehehe.

Have a read of this thread London Triples Congestion Charge to see what London is planning - $53 per day for "Chelsea Tractors" to enter the city !

But by their definition EVERY Commodore, Falcon and 380 will be paying the charge ! Disgusting Chelsea Tractors !

My Patrol is actually 2 wheel drive on the road but i can engage the other 2 wheels if i want but then it would be a four wheel drive,, same as a WRX!!!

I wonder if her stupid braindead ,unfounded,construed,warped empty space between the ears would mumble if you mentioned a HUGE Suzuki Jimny

.

You guys never cease to amaze me.....Can't you see this for what it is? Yet another attempt at getting those of us who drive 4X4's to cough up extra for doing so....
It's the cretins in the media who give stories like this airtime who should be publically stoned & as I am without guilt I shall throw the first stone...

i have noticed that a lot of media radio, reporters and tv all drive 4x4 as company cars yet still seem to bag us. went past mitsubishi when they were reporting on the closure and there were 4x4 everywhere from tv stations.

I'm not overly opposed to the idea of a congestion charge, to keep cars out of the city unless they need to be there. Although improving public transport would also help this.

What I think though is the larger vehicles are already paying more in registration and fuel excises. Why specifically target large cars in the city? If they're going to do it, apply it to all cars and make the cities more pedestrian friendly.

I don't think there's enough incentive to get out of cars and into public transport, and this shows the government is not serious about reducing emissions and is just trying to make more money.

Gday,
Well statistics do show they are dangerous......
And there is probably no NEED to have one....
And a Hyundai would be cheaper........


$hit sounds a bit like speed limits in the NT

LOL
