4x4 drivers have small appendices?

No skulldug, I do not believe four wheel drivers are at all to blame for failing to indicate their intentions. Like most drivers these days if the indicators are used at all it is to show that the vehicle has changed lanes.
Fear not, it is endemic not to indicate at all -- unless there is a copper close by.

Hmmmm...
Somebody has obviously not been watching the "hot hatch" brigade at work...

This person has obviously never driven a 4x4 on the Bruce H'way where it seems it is obligatory for all drivers of all 4 cylinder vehicles to overtake said 4x4 regardles of road conditions or prevailing speed restrictions. This is particularly relevant if the driver of said 4 cyl vehicle is female and under 25 years of age or male and wearing a cap in reverse position while holding right arm as a decoration to the exterior of the drivers door while endeavouring to destroy hearing ability of all within 250m It is also important to note that vehicles driven by above described beings will inevitably have indicators which only operate with single flash two seconds after lane change has been completed.

The situation becomes much more imperative if the 4x4 is actually towing a caravan or trailer when it in then important to see how quickly one can fill the space adjacent to the front of the 4x4 ensuring that the driver of the 4x4 must immediately complete an mergency brakeing test. This cutting in action will also ensure that the driver of the 4x4 gets sufficient heart and muscle exercise. This manouver can also ensure that both 4x4 and caravan/trailer are promptly removed from the traffic flow on a pernantent basis. Such action will provide stimulation of nervous system in excess of that obtained through Saturday night use of recreational substances.

I also disagree with the the final comment in the article concerning 'same old creature' in as much as it matters little about age when the entire population doesn't give a damn about anyone else. Walking through the Mall in Brisbane can be Life threatening when the bell goes for go home time. It is a case of "Stand aside or lose a limb"

Ok so I've got a problem with todays behaviour of all ages.

Well it was a BMW that pulled out from the bicycle lane yesterday that almost totalled me, me wearing bright orange flouro shirt, and with flashing multiple LED lights etc and not goin too fast. And of course if he'd used indicators I probably would have had less of a very close shave.

So no, it's everyone.

Do BMWs count as 4x4s?

Have yet to see one in towing mode and except for one occasion on Fraser Is have never seen one 'off bitumn"

I think the rage has been proportional to the amount of pocket rockets being sold...Small dog syndrome

So Scruby is in Morphett Vale these days eh?

Well, mr name omitted of Morphett Vale. Build a bridge and jump off it.

Its actually a cane-toad thing LOL
Amber light means next 4 cars can go through
Red Light means next 2 cars can squeak through
Indicators optional anytime relevant or not.

I am terrified when I visit my mum on the Gold Coast but then most of ttose drivers are Mexican ex-pats aren't they LOL...
Its like they check their brain at the border...

Hi all.
My wife drives our Patrol, with 4 inch lift kit and 33 BFG mudders as her town car. It is not to make her feel indestructable or bully other drivers. It is purely because I drive a work ute which can't fit our family in or take us into the wild yonders of outback and beyond.
We use this car for a dual purpose as we can't afford a "town" car as well.
If a Toyota yaris could pull a camper through the Simpson we wouldn't need a patrol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When will the small minded left wing whining minority get a grip on reality????
We drive these cars to get us from A to B "off road".
I may be stupid, but I actually thought this is why they make "off road" vehicles. I have no need for a combine harvester so I don't have one. However I don't whinge about those that do.........

I don't think it matters what car some morons drive, they are still going to drive like morons. Until a human breeding license is introduced or humans choose to breed selectively, instead of with anything that will lie down long enough, we will continue to have to deal with morons. Just get over it.

To those morons who have nothing better to do than whinge because a 4WD cut them up, I say that if your life is that meaningless, climb into a pine box and wait!!!
Why don't they read a forum like this one and see what 4wd'ers are really about???

Beats me why the papers publish crap like that in the first place. For sensationalism I suspect.

I don't think it matters what kind of car you drive, if you're a sh*t driver you're a sh*t driver. Simple as that. I had a BMW, 3 4x4's, and various other cars. All had indicators in good working order.

Besides, it's appendage, not appendix, Name Omitted of Morphett Vale.

I don't need a 4x4 to have a small appendage!

Skull, I was not criticsiing you. I was merely commenting on the fact that Australia now seems to have the most inconsiderate drivers and the worst mannered.
Just last week I was driving in Perth when a suited mddle-aged man in new Fairlane cut three lanes across and turned left without using his indicator. He had, I suppose, what could be a valid reason. He was chatting on his yuppie phone.

I always thought that blokes who wear their caps on back to front were poofs????????????

We have two smaller cars...Elantra and a Tiburon(wife's) and when we go through intersections and roundabouts...we are fair game to all....BUT when we are in the TROOPY and go through the same there is a big smile on our dials because you should see them all brake hard and back off....when they see that bull bar they suddenly dont feel so invincible.... : )))

It's an opinion, not a very accurate one, but one none-the-less. People can believe what they want, "who is the worst drivers of the lot" etc, but at the end of the day it doesnt really matter. It is designed to make people react like above and defend their actions and/or lay blame elsewhere (with other types of vehicles etc). They have had their 5 seconds of feeling good...let it go i say.

Move on...nothing to see here. :-)
