Authors say off-roader drivers often have limited visibility because of the size and shape of the vehicles — making them prone to crashes.



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And the monster off-roaders will cause a high proportion of those deaths, claims the New Economics Foundation think tank.


Tank, usually used to hold bulk items, like sewage, which are full of cr@p!!

I've had 2 accidents in ours this year, some t*t ran into the back of it last year and recently some old bloke backed into it in a car park.  You'd think it was invisible or something.  Ban old folks, or make them retake the test!



By the way it won both contests, unlike when some other t*t hit the back of my Micra.

Anyone read this months LRO, the article on Police Range Rovers?

Those guys reckon we're the safest drivers on the road, and they should know because they get to sort out the mess when it all goes wrong.

I feel safer in a 4x4, if 4x4s are responsable for global warming why is the UK still cold,  if there were more 4x4s perhaps we would see some sun
