Foxt,

You said that the driver of a 4x4 can't see you, if he can't then you are too close, as I said before it's basic driving skill to position one's self where one can see the mirrors of the vehicle ahead.

You do not seem to realize that many small cars are 4 wheel drive; are you going to kick some Mazdas off the road because they are 4x4s?

I don't drive a 4x4, I drive a Statesman, a Commodore (better and safer car) and a Toyota Yaris (better and safer than either of the others),
All of them, along with 99.9% of modern cars share the unsafe feature of having the brake pedal to the left of the accelerator.

"I'll tell you what 'diversity' means: it means fewer white people. Any white person championing diversity is like a turkey looking forward to Christmas. Implementation of mass immigration, the homosexualisation of society, and cheering the 'other' is not diversity: it is identarian ideology. The current mob of 'diversity' pushers do not really want diversity: they want 'sameness of views', disguised in a myriad of foreign faces, tattooed females with crewcuts' and the 'forever young', with no 'pale stale males' in sight. Diversity is their cover for societal destruction."

leoj,

"Driving is a complex activity that requires what is described as 'System 2' thinking, which means you cannot have any distraction and must never lapse into 'automatic'. That is the science (Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman)."

Very true, driving a motor vehicle is far more complex than flying a small 'plane and a lot more dangerous.

Nutter,

Everything I said in the posts you reproduced is perfectly true, and has nothing to do with white supremacy. Only a non-white racist could carry on with the crap you do.

So can we conclude the following :

As a bare minimum there should be extra testing for 4x4 drivers for safety reasons and to make sure they have the required skills to drive these vehicles.

Many on here hate 4 x 4 as I do, and some even want them banned.

Unless you do a lot of country travel bull bars should be banned as they defeat many of the safety systems built into modern cars and add to the risks of maiming or injuring others.

4 x 4s other than the smaller sedan types should be banned in the cities and major towns and no vehicles should have bull bars in the cities.

4 x 4 drivers are generally worse drivers than most.

and

Foxy is pretty much correct on everything she has posted here, and should be listened to because of her wonderful driving record and common sense, logical approaches to topics.

I'd agree with all that!

Up in Queensland again. Using a rental car. On this subject, back home in Sydney I normally use the public Bus/train $2.50 ride all day. Shocked by our nieces partnčr $150 week just for tolls and petrol. Drops her off at the railway station very early, she gets to work at 8am, hour before start time. Shocking now want a second car.
About once in 200 bus trips my son is the driver.

Hi Foxy, a little raciests story. We went into a very expensive perfume shop in Brisbane yesterday, a day off to do some shopping. "T' is both brown skin and a very bright colourful dresser, looked a bit Afro yesterday. Not looking like an expensive perfume shopper at all. Soon as she picked up a tester the shop ass rushed away from the white well conserve dressed customer she was already serving, at high speed mind you, almost running, to give "T" customer ass. With a "yessss, may I be of assistence!". When we left I said to "T" "You distract em', and I'll knock off the lolly water". She gets that sort of treatment all the time in the more expensive shops. The shop ass's are so so obvious.
