Thread: Vote today Melb Herald Sun - banning 4wd from city roads

I will stick to my usual argument. Ban 4wd from the city then ban all large vehicvles from the city and ban all small vehicles from out of the city.
Shove that one in your pipe scruby.

There are now many more license classes than there were a few years ago.

car
light rigid
medium rigid
heavy rigid
heavy combination
multi combuination.

It seems what is being complained about is there isn't enough breakdown in the car class. Maybe there should be

light car <1000kg
medium car 1001kg - 2000kg
Heavy car > 2000kg

So Nissan, Toyota and D3 owners get to pay more for their licenses. Maybe part time 4WD gets a discount because they are not really 4WDs when they are being driven around on bitumen, but us defender drivers get slugged because we are in 4WD - and we need to do a 4WD course as well.

But wait a TDV6 D3 and a V8 D3 would need different classes of license, unless of course one of them was an auto.............................................


This is doing my head in

Hit "Delete all" and you can vote again as many times as you do the above.

Which makes the whole thing a bit of a farce really.

We need someone with plenty of time and a bit of panache to start or resurrect or get involved in a '4wd lobby group'. How would the Scrubster react if he was the target of negative publicity, a counter argument or even (not by me) a little old fashioned vilification.
4x4 owners need to push back a little.
Maybe those in rural areas could canvas and involve their local member, I know in CQLD, most of them drive toyos anyway!.

My 10 cents.

IF you banned 4WDs from cities, I would want ALL 4WDs/AWD regardless of size banned, that is to say, if you have a toyota corolla with AWD then it should be banned. We cannot have discrimination can we??

After all, who is going to decide what is "Safe" , are you going to ban delivery vans because they are large and have blind spots? Or may cars because they open their doors in front of cyclists. So to make the city centre safe, we should bann all motor vehicles, and cyclists.
