If you were to get a bus you could only use it in bus lanes if it is
registered and Mot'd as a PSV vehicle. Converted buses which are
registerd as campers (and thus drivable on a car licence) are not
permitted in bus lanes

to ban 4x4 from the mountains.

To be fair, the website does say "If you are a farmer or your job is
to tow heavy equipment we have no argument with you." One reasonable
statement in about 500 unreasonable ones, but credit where it's due
