Should 4wd's pay extra to travel in the city vote

Looks like we are miles behind already in the votes. Wont be long thanks to all the do-gooders. Where were they all on Clean up Australia Day, bet they were not around pulling old dumped cars from creeks etc all done by four wheel drive clubs and all to the cost of the owner of the vehicles. They were probablt sitting out the front of there cafe's drinking latte's Regards Steve M

Well, lets get this on respective 4x4 sites and vote. I will place on the landy site today!!

Quite honestly I couldn't give a Rat's ass, I hate Big Cities and this is about Melbourne and that's 2800Ks from me .

If you Clear Private Data in Firefox you can vote as many times as you like!

Shows how unreliable thse sorts of polls can be. Currently No is 50% 8)

No's are ahead, so far.

Done !

Was in Melbourne recently. Traffic unbelievable. They have areal problems. Rather than banning 4WDs, which won't do anything to help the problem any way, I suggest we should contribute to the debate by arguing for banning anything with more than 4cylinders in the inner urban area and demanding better public transport at the same time. I see Melbourne is bringing in free train travel into the city if you travel before 7.00 am. That kind of thinking is better than scapegoating 4WDs and getting into an internet voting blitz (which are usually just set up to increase the number of hits the site has rather than any real attempt to look at the problem.

Done....

As I, and possibly a good many others only own a 4WD, this could be construed as discrimination.

It looks like it is all encompassing, with no differentiation between 4WD and AWD, so does this mean that vehicles like the Holden Adventra, Cross-8 and many other such like vehicles are included?

What about those Hyundai excels with P plates.They seem to do plenty of speeding.What about SS commodores with their six litre engines. They use lots of fuel.Why pick on the four wheel drives.

As I speak 68% against. Who are the kidding. Just another excuse to stick up insurance premiums. Last year I ran over a Honda in my patrol. He was in the wrong and it was not pretty. Still he screamed about 4wd? Makes me wonder

ban more than 4cyl? forget it, everyone will want an 8L single piston engine. Ban 4x4? Then everyone will want a 4x2 Landcruiser. Ban SUVs? What if they were hybrid, or diesel hybrid, hydrogen fuel-cell or anything else that's perhaps emissions free? My thoughts are leave everyone alone, and when newer technologies become available to make all cars emissions free, then make them mainstream. But bans, fines, heavy taxes, isn't going to work.
