Someone's previous comment.....
[Now I drive a 4wd, but it is these cowboys that make it bad for us all, a little consideration go,s a long way.]
The problem is, that there are cowboys driving all sorts of vehicles. I see a P-Plater driving fast through the city, I blame the driver being a P-Plater, it makes you biased. BUT, if there are no P-Plates, then you look at the lowered suspension, dark windows, loud, thumping music, neon lights on the rear parcel shelf... Then you have a new breed of 'cowboy'! Same thing with 4WD's, but people don't see the great things they do on TV, only the bad, they don't see the rescue vehicles, the vehicles that can take you to places 100's of Kms away from the cities. I reckon they should bad sedans with large V8 engines that can go +200 Km/H, far more people wrapping themselves around trees and power poles due to excessive speed that in 4WD's, or accidents involving 4WD's....but are they going to do it?

Thats probably the most sensible and valid point made so far, about the V8's that is, of course they won't. Why because there is no need just as there is no need to ban 4WD's.
What there should be a ban on is dickhead drivers. Police should be tougher on the people doing stupid stuff no matter what they drive.
Speeding fines to joe bloggs doing 65 in a 60 zone won't fix anything. It the redneck in his beat up sigma overtaking you doing 140 in a 90 zone that should be getting caught. Some sort of hotline should be setup like the "littering" ones where you can dob in a dickhead with his number plate.
Anyway enough of my rambling.
