SHOCK HORROR   :(scared):

Look at this from The Glasgow Evening Times.


--- Quote ---DRIVERS of large 4x4 vehicles are more dangerous on the road than other motorists, says a new study.
They are more likely to be unsafe in traffic because they often drive with just one hand.
Researchers in New Zealand watched drivers of 4x4s and other cars on motorways and found those in the larger vehicles were 55% more likely to drive with only one hand on the wheel.
Gas-guzzling 4x4s have already come under fire for being environmentally unfriendly.

Bush Tucker Man:
Yet more clap-trap :x

So we're more of a liabilty than;
Drink-drivers
Drug addled drivers
Uninsured (& probably unlicenced drivers)
MOT failures on the roads

Jeez...I need both hands to keep mine on one carriageway.
Damned car takes detours of its own if I only hold on with 1 hand!

Evilgoat:
Guess they dont have executive cars out there then. Or the chavs that drive with their knees. I know for a fact I quite often have just one hand on the wheel on the Audi but I'd NEVER drive the zook like that. Tramlines so much you need both hands :)

Horness:
Oh look, another blanket statement.

If you drive a 4x4 you must also drive one handed.  :roll:  
Yep, that's because we're too busy answering the mobile phone, rolling a joint and trying to unscrew the cap from the bottle of JD we have between our legs to actually bother to concentrate on the road.

[Edited] - these people actually get paid to come up with this bu**s**t :evil:

Some of us and many of our relatives fought and in some cases died for freedom and peace.
