Three in five Australians against 4WDs on our roads !

You should get out more, Sir Willie.

Go find something to do in the garden or pull something apart in the Bushtracker instead of reading rubbish jn the Sunday paper....LOL




Cheers

as if this will ever happpen LOL

we all know this bleep pops up from time to time.......it is a slow news week. Always is between xmas and new year.

Anyway we don't have a Government smart enough in this country to even come close to implementing a ban like this. Have a cold one put your feet up and have a laugh, or better still go for a drive down George ST Sydney! LOL

Anyone silly enough to read newspapers will be gullible enough to fall for such baseless articles. Although I must admit, nothing worse than trying to negotiate traffic in vicinity of schools as mums in their Toorak Tractors vie for the best positions to impede traffic flows and drop their little darlings off.

Willie .... put that paper where it belongs .... in the bottom of the budgie cage .... lolol


Considering the amount of soccer mums and so forth out there driving the things .... How on earth did they find 3 in 5 Australians ???????

Obviously the paper sent a reporter to Canberra where they just polled the staff of that Australasian College of Road Safety mob.

The pathetic joke of the whole situation is that we are paying for these comments to be directed against us. e.g. Taxes / Motoring Group donations / Road Safety ( pfffft ) Grants etc. are how these lot survive - biting the hand that feeds them.

Pretty damn amazing how funding is allocated when you get into it. Mate had a young family member die in a car accident. Looked into funding / grants to run a young drivers course or something similiar for his classmates, while the importance of careful driving was fresh in their minds .... no money to do that ... but plenty of of tax money available to run a car themed disco or spraypaint walls with pictures of cars.

i heard it was 6 in 10

Several years back at a fly reunion, my brother in law had the stupid idea of having a go at 4WD's.

Guess what he is driving today???? and thinks its the safest and best car you can drive!!

they all turn around on their unfounded comments.

Cheers

Well I was just out pulling an inspection plate off the rear of my transfer case to check play on my input shaft.

Had I known about all the people out there who think 4wd's should be banned, I could have pulled my front drive shaft out and turned the old girl into a 2wd.

lets hope that they remember that their porsche, passat, audi, teritory.and quite a few others that they may drive are also 4wd


and my old 60 no lockers 1 front wheel and 1 back wheel will drive so its a 2 wheel drive they can jack it up and check


up here its more like 3 in 5 drive a 4wd

keep safe and a happy new year

Hi Willie

I only go to the city when i have to, but on the rural roads, it is something like four out of five in 4wds. Obviously that paper only asked the question of people in a certain demographic area. I like the budgie cage suggestion.

Motherhen

get out there guys and start winning more votes
we only have another 11% to go

Many more than 3 in five Australians don't read the Sunday Telegraph !

Obviously this survey wasn't carried out in Birdsville during the races LOL.

Cheers

What does this Pic tell ya ,

Also a poll in the Herald Sun today I think. Vote there is slightly ahead for 4 wheelers in cities.

We have a 2 door Mistibushi Pajero. We live and work an hour away from the city but luv camping and the outback. We can not afford 2 cars, soooooo we needed to compromise on an car that suited both the city and outback livestyle along with the budget. How come we didn't get an invterview with the Telegraph?

A similar article appeared in the Adelaide Sunday Mail.
Unfortunately, some people may believe the drivel that Scruby and his Ilk sprout.

For what it is worth, our "other vehicle" is a Holden Commodore SV6.
In my experience, driving this gives the worst view I have ever experienced. Also, looking through the rear view mirror gives a very limited view. The rear spoiler blocks at least a third of the view, which is already restricted due to the body shape.
Definitely a need for a rear view camera on these vehicles methinks.

Im not a big fan of those white delivery vans but thats life!!!! Michael

3 out of 5 four wheel drives should never be allowed on any road !

Most people who drive 4 wheel drives have no need for them and never use them. We have a few locals here with low profile tyres on their 4 wheel drives. Every afternoon I watch women picking up kids in insane road monsters.

IMHO there should be a simple 4 wheel driving test before a license to drive one is granted and the same goes for towing any form of trailer.

I have no problem with people who use or need 4 wheel drives I do have a problem with Toorak tractors driven by soccer mums.

How can a SYDNEY newspaper say "3 out of 5 Australians"?

3 out of 5 people in Sydney AREN'T Australian !!
