How pathetic.  City twats again, try restricting your molestation to
your own neigbourhoods.

"4x4's are very heavy vehicles with poor fuel consumption rates and
high pollution figures. They are usually driven at high speeds, well
in excess of the national maximum, often in the outside lane of the
motorway. These vehicles are usually driven very aggresively, coming
up very fast and close to the vehicle in front, and often with
headlights on. The lights are high compared to normal cars and help to
cause fear in many divers. The very heavy weight compared to normal
cars increases the stopping distance and also increases the likelyhood
of serious damage or injuries if involved in a high speed accident."

Mind you, he's got a point about the divers, if I was swimming about
underwater I'd be a tad concerned if someone drove a Range Rover Sport
at me.

I don't see his point here, why ban them from the outside lane?
As he said in his petition     "They are usually driven at high speeds, well
in excess of the national maximum, often in the outside lane of the motorway
"

In that case surely the best place for 'em is in the outside
lane?????????????

Why not sign the petition at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/4x4owners/ 
instead. You know it makes sense.

It would be nice if people would at least think about what they're
writing when they put these things together then check the grammar and
spelling.
