4x4 avoids nasty accident
iianorthants:
that estate can be a bit bad, most of the kids around there are playing football and such in the road, in an afternoon working on my brother car you are bound to hear one or two tyre screeches as someone has to do an emergency stop, but still the kids just carry on the same :( lucky our lad prefers being up to his elbows in mud rather then kick a ball around on the road and we live in a quiet area with no through roads
datalas:
has anyone seen Tufty or them hedghogs recently ?
can someone with spoglets please reassure me this stuff is currently being taught in schools ? Since it seems painfully apparent that we can't rely on some parents to teach their little darlings
Jan:
Well done Dave ~~ your a star ~~ jan Xx

It gets my goat that the road outside is now a playground whilst I'm paying council tax for 2 playing field on this road alone! kids don't seem to give a damn and their parents seem to think that's how it should be. We've moved into a world where the car is a tool of Satan and carries all the blame for the woes of the world. Whatever happend to stop, look, listen? It's not PC enough.
Anyway, with a 2" lift you have plenty of "pedestrian escape volume" beneath your car don't you? and according to the test on 5th gear a pedestrian will suffer less fatal injuries from a Land rover or Range Rover than from a passenger car, on account of it spreads the impact accross the whole of the pedestrians body rather than knocking the legs out from under them with a low front bumper before catapulting their head into the windscreen wipers. But hey, who's going to let the facts spoil a good arguament anyway, people hate 4x4s and it's mainly jealousy, I've made my views on that well known before.........

Our 3 year old has brilliant road sense. Whilst stood waiting to cross I said to her 'lets wait till that car has passed and then its safe to cross' to which she replied 'but daddy its a van you muppet' :shock:
