Well I never! A big, heavy car is safer to be in when comes to the crunch. Who would have thought it!

I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

Imagine my surprise when someone points out that MPV's and 4x4's are driven more carefully than smaller cars... :shock:  :shock:

Can't be long now before they realise that despite the potential danger to pedestrians of physically larger cars... they tend to be driven more carefully.

**SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!**

Sorry about that...  My unconscious mind just gre an arm out of the side of my skull and woke me up from my wonderful dream!

And the fact that they caramalize anything they hit anyway.

Well that explains it then, My 5.0 Litre, 2.6 tonne Range Rover LSE cost less to insure than my 1.4D Micra, now we know why :roll:

It always amazes me how the 'greens' keep coming out with the rubbish that they purport to be the truth on the evils of the urban 4x4.  When will they realise that they're just plain wrong ?
