Slightly OT: one for the anti 4x4s?

Being hit by a schoolbus or a refuse truck isn't going to be any better
either, so should they be banned from going anywhere near schools, don't see
anyone complaining about them ?

I have proof that my limo was able to stop quicker than the sandhurst
trained a-hole in a hot hatch who slammed into the back of me some years
ago. He mouthed off in superior manner at me, as these upper class idiots
are apt to do, but I won the insurance excess off him in court.

Indeed, however as far as I'm concerned the majority of the damage is
done by the majority of the people, 10 cars are more likely to kill
kids at schools than 1 4x4 or 0.5 school busses but you're not going
to get politicians, local councillors or pressure groups campaigning
about the majority of the people!
