Narrr, there is absolutely no need for a big ass 4wd in the city, every single one i've seen here in Canberra is driven by the same stereotypical soccer mum's or middle aged business dudes. F***ing ridiculous, they have not even seen a rough road. If you buy one because you think it is safer, maybe you should learn to drive more defensively. Just joining the "everybody else is doing it" club only makes shit worse.
But I think more to the point, something needs to be done about driver attitude in general. You can teach people how to drive, but teaching them to do it safely with consideration for others on the road is a different thing. Here in Canberra, every mofo drives like a frigging maniac on ice. Chopping lanes without indicating, tailgating. Its amazing how many crashes I see here despite the very good roads. The licensing standards in place need to be made more rigorous to get all the dipshits off the road, they can use public transport if they want to f*** around.
thats my view
