Hi there,

well what a debate.....

some well versed opinions here both ways....

Speaking from someone that has driven heavy vehicles (only up to 24 tonne) has a 12 sec car and a 4x4, and aslo has had alot of experience with younger drivers and attitude( being a former high school teacher) these are my opinions.

i definately think the whole ban the 4x4 thing is a band aid solution, and in many ways no different to the ban fast car arguements, neither of which i agree with.

a 4x4 patrol, long wheelbase weighs 2050kg, travelings at 100km/h it has a momentum of 57 000nm/s the same momentum as the afore mentioned gt falcon travelling at 111km/h.

as you can see there is not much difference, yes there are limitation on vehicle handling and braking. but how many celicas are out there with 1g's and no brakes mods or similar.

banning people from vehicles will not help, aspeople can and will play, be silly have accident etc in whatever they are allowed to drive.

one of the worst things that comes from these kind of things is the division between different groups of motor enthusiests. the 4x4 forums are sayin the opposite to you guys.... ban fast cars not necessary etc... If all enthusiests were able to stand together then we would have a voice, and voting power to actually have a say rather than just winge after the decision is made.

all the winging between v8's suck, that is rice, 4x4's, performance cars.... fords v's holden stc.... all it does is divide us, and let people who are not involved make the decisions that affect us.

a more resonable way of removing bad drivers etc.... would be to randomly, with registration renewal, to require a driving test in that vehicle, not in the same vein as a p's test, but a safe driving test, ability to drive the vehicle that is registered in your name. so i could be called in to prove i can safely drive either my celica or my 4x4.

i think we all know people who have fluked their licencse etc.

keep up the discussion...

Cheers
Stew
