'Blanket condemnation of what is in these areas a valid form of transport...'

Oo - I never!!!!!

That's certainly not what I was saying. If it's a valid form of transport in an area, you'd get the free onroad license without difficulty!

I only mean filling in a form giving simple reasons why 'you' should be allowed to use a 4x4. In areas where a 4x4 is justified, the license would be pretty much awarded to anyone who applied, without fuss.

Having to get a special license would be designed to discourage these twats from buying a 4x4 for the 'school run'. 'You' would have to justify it much more convincingly if you lived, say, in Lewisham or somewhere!!!

BTW, I wouldn't want to get anything stuck in YOUR craw matey!!! :^6

LOL

Haw haw haw! I know what you're saying, Moth. Actually, 4x4 owners already pay more road tax and often insurance simply because of the size of the brutes. Mine is actually not too ridiculous (Toyota RAV4) in size, but does what I need it to. I'd go along with the special licenses etc as long as these apply to people with off-raod motorbikes, mountain bikes etcetera too. Some of those are causing dreadful erosion on the Scottish hills, and in areas no 4x4 would get into!

I'm normally quite peacable, but certain things set me off.
Ringing little bells at me is one of them :-P
