To a certain extent I guess, but lets not forget that SOME people actually
live & work in places & situations that need them. However this isn't
justification for owning 4x4's, this is about statistics (made up or
otherwise) supposedly claiming that people who drive vehicle A are more
likely to kill someone through negligence or whatever than someone who
drives vehicle B. If there is any actual real evidence of such statistics
then I'm willing to bet that the majority of deaths are caused by
performance car drivers, YOUNG inexperienced performance car drivers.
