Another thread was drifting way off topic but I feel the drifting was worthy of further debate.
I fully accept these tests are sanitized and perhaps might not relate to the real world. However I am firmly of the opinion that because of NCAP testing the modern car is a better vehicle to be in if we are unlucky enough to be involved in an accident?
Having said that I object strongly to those folks that buy large 4x4's solely because they feel they are a safer vehicle?? I would suggest investing the extra money in a driving course which might help the driver avoid being in an accident? I am NOT anti 4x4, I am just against selfish folks that want to drive around in a vehicle without a single thought for other road users, just so long as they are okay!
If someone buys a 4x4 because they like the looks of them... Fine, no problem with that whatsoever. Obviously no problem either with those that buy them because they actually take them off road.
Regards,
John
