woody:
this sounds like a ladies forum where ladies do ladies things
like
taking the kids to school in there 3.0Ltr BMW's
and of course they cant park on them nice yellow zigzag lines if some idiot has parked their 4x4 within 1/2 mile of the school TAKING UP ALL THAT SPACE WITH THEIR PERMINANT 4 WHEEL DRIVE :lol:
The Mig:
Like Jake I 'm also a truck driver and have seen the decline in ALL driving standards over the past 20 yrs maybe the answer could lie in a multi layer test like motor bikes and hgv's but when you get "the model" in her 4x4 double parking at the school gates in clear No Parking zones or disabled parking area's in large cities and/or towns it is bound to cause uproar eventually and those that use them for work and liesure responsably will end up paying

It's easier to police things like that, with Traffic Wardens. As much as I hate them when I'm working in town centres, they are the answer to parking problems like those.

Fond memories :) . Bad drivers will always chose a car that that makes them feel safe. It allows them to drive like everyone else (or how they think every one drives). Its called "risk compensation". The safer you feel the more risks you take. T. E. Lawrence (of arabia fame) suggested a 2 inch spike on the steering wheel to encourage safer driving.
What the moaning minis dont understand is that if you ban 4x4s in town then the current crop will simply move onto something else that they think is safe and will continue to drive like idiots.
Steped licensies are one way forward. Limit engine size until the person passes another test. Another way forward would be more police and more prosecutions.

My pet hate at the moment are the people who are benifit/low income and pay back fines at £5 a week. There are a couple of people I know who owe thousands of pounds in fines. They still drive, no MOT no insurance etc. Its cheaper for them to pay the £5 a week than it is for them to be legal.
