i see they are giving 4x4,s another slagging as they are unfriendly to pedestrians when they get hit,

Pedestrians! you stay off my road and i,ll stay off your pavement :lol:

Manicminer:
When you hit a pedestrian with a car they tend to go over the bonnet ,make a dent and crack the windscreen .
With a Landie etc they go underneath - no damage  :wink:

POTASH:
yes saw that :x what happened to the green cross code :?:

As always, the problem is the people driving 'em.  Not the type of car they drive.   Dozy pedestrians walking out in front of moving traffic doesnt help either.  As for the lady who was knockd down in her teen's I think...  The problem there was not the car, or her, but the toerag who jumped the lights doing 65 was it?  No mention of if they caught them.....

I liked the bit with the stop urban 4x4 campaigners, and the woman they stopped and stuffed a mike (or two) in her face and asked her if she felt guilty driving such a big car.  She asked "what would you like me to drive?" and they cut away pronto.

As to the ESP vs Non ESP "test"...   Anyone else notice he pulled the handbrake on when doing the "comparison ESP switched off" test...????

He still took a "cone" out with ESP on the first time anyway.  And if that was the best of the takes......

And of course a big 4x4 is more likely (25% was it?) to have an accident than smaller cars.  Trouble is, car's dont have accidents, people do.   And we all know the sort of people who move from a GTi or whatever to a big 4x4, but drive the same as they did before....  I rest my case m'lud.....

Educate and train the drivers (and pedestrians) more...  Enforce the law in sensible places, like outside schools etc, and maybe, just maybe, things will improve, a little.....?

Perleeeassee!

I was hit by a car doing 55mph and lost my job etc. etc. etc...

She was either where she shouldn't have been or it was speed related.

Come to think of it everything I saw on the program against us was down to speed or lack of law enforcement.

Idiots will still kill pedestrains no matter what they drive.

On the plus side. Some of our messages about misinformation seem to be getting across.
