Thread: Should 4WDs be banned in the city? - 58% SAY Yes!

4x4 poll states all non-4wd supporters should be banned from the city - now there's a poll worth taking part in

Yeah ............ but it'd be a pretty fair representation of the opinion of complete brain dead morons though.

Here are two points that have not been mentioned:
1) I can afford to to drive my D2 4.0L so way should I be judged for that (after all I'm helping the economy)
2) I live in Christchurch NZ... The roads are so bad that a car in not a sensible option, even now.
I believe having a 4x4 is part of being ready, my wife was driving the disco during one of the 5.0 aftershocks and was quite safe and still able to get home.
I know you guys have not had an earthquake (to this extent) but there will be other risks you live with I'm sure (we never saw this coming).

I believe it is ignorance from lack of contact that causes people to come up with these ideas.
Example: A nutter goes and tears up the local riverbed, and the cry is ban 4x4's.
The same is true of firearms but I'll save that for the soapbox

Dont you dare try and ban small cars!

Without small cars we wont have any crumple zones or reverse parking sensors

Simple really ... if 4x4's are banned from city & suburban roads ... then small compact non 4x4 cars should be banned form rural and country roads !

Keep 'em in the city ... where they belong!

Put that into a poll...

Easo

Voted no, crashed the page.
Voted no again, crashed the page again.
I'll just sit here and vote no all evening. Maybe one will get through.

To all the faithful, I maybe preaching to the converted.

I gave the no a go, the percentage took a move towards a more pleasurable outcome.
