hi,

River, you are deffinately right... people will never agree, but putting ideas forward sensbly allows all of us to see other points of view.

like you i know plenty of bad 4x4 drivers, many of them that do not "need" 4x4's.

what i worry about is the way you use unnesecarry (spelling...) who gets to define what is a necessary use for a 4x4? i had a v6 rodeo (2wd) that i used to use to tow my boat (18.5 foot fibreglass) and it towed it very well and legally. my new patrol (well new for me) will tow it much better, or is that unnescessary? how often would you have to go off road to be deemed to "need" it?

i think this come down to personal choice. There are people out there (not myself) who could justifyably argue that there is no need for you to own your celica. unless it is registered as a vintage car and only used in historic events that you should be forced to drive a newer, more environmentally friendy vehicle.....

as for 4x4 causing more wear and tear on roads etc.... they already pay more... rego is weight dependant, and these "gas guzzling" cars supply more revenue per km due to the tax on fuel.

again i reiterate that if you think it is fair to take the choice of what you can and cant drive (just cause you dont need it)away from people, then modified cars of all sorts will be on the hits list.

dont forget that under current licensing that you can drive up to 4.5 tonne, which i have seen people who have never driven anything other than a small 4cyl, hire a small removal style truck and drive in traffic...... which is more dangerous.... where do you stop?

Cheers
Stew
