DRIVERS of large 4x4 vehicles are more dangerous

More open minded objective and fair journalism from the Daily Mail. 4x4s are just easy pickings. It's not that 4x4 drivers feel higher up and 'superior', it's that drivers of cheap old knackered cars feel inferior. Quite rightly so!
What about 20 year old normal cars? Plumes of exhaust fumes, old brakes, bald tyres, thick chav drivers, no airbags, seatbelts like old rubber bands... I'm getting wound up!
I bet fewer accidents are caused by 4x4 drivers than most others.

Damned car takes detours of its own if I only hold on with 1 hand!

Hahaha too right same here...and mine gets 7.5mpg less than my 1.3 polo gt used to so hardly gas guzzling either. I wish people would find a worthwhile cause to fight instead of going on about 4x4's.

I very seldom use two hands when driving, why do you need to, unledss you are travelling too fast.
Same on the bike, i only use two hands on the bars when I am riding quickly, cruising around at the speed limit, there is little need for both hands. :?

I drive 1 handed all the time. I find using 2 hands very hard to do for some reason.
Most challenging thing is to eat a McD's meal. top tip hear is to ask for 4 straws so you can link them together to drink ur drink in the cup holder and put chips into lid of burger case as then it sits neetly in your lap. an auto is better than a manaul for obvious reasons!!! Only joking mr pc plod. those kind of meals are gross!
But when I was a postie driving down certain long driveways it was easy to clamp a bottle of squash between your legs and have a few gulps and lid back on. 1 drive way had such bad tram ways that the van sat in the rust an pootled down the drive by itself. No steering required. No other cars around. Ideal time to fill in the van log book!!!
I know driving 1 handed isnt big or clever and certainly not funny but if its on private land then hey, why not! If you have a firm grip on the wheel too and the other hand isnt doing anything to stop you quickly gripping the wheel incase there is a reason to then whats the prob? 1 hand HAS to be better than no hands or 1 hand holding fire ( a ciggarette) or a phone?
Oh well. I will find someone to pay me to sit on me back side and think of a questionarre to think up. I may do it on people who drive cars with wide wheels kills more toads and frogs each year. That ought to do it :wink:
