There is a lot of stuff on the BBC website about this .....and  its the Lib Dem environment spoksman calling for more tax bands based on emissions .....so if  you have a 3 ltr be it a 4X4 or not then expect to pay more ............but only if the governement think they should introduce these new tax bands..............dont think they have considered it .......havent read about it ........    It is a fact though if you are a pedestrian  unfortunately  hit by a 4X4 while crossing the road ....even at low speed .....it is not  going to scoop your legs out from under you  like a car so you roll off the bonnet.......its going to  knock you flat and then go over you . and that does make them less safe in towns

 you are a pedestrian  unfortunately  hit by a 4X4 while crossing the road ....even at low speed .....it is not  going to scoop your legs out from under you  like a car so you roll off the bonnet.......its going to  knock you flat and then go over you . and that does make them less safe in towns .

same could be said for buses , lorries , transit vans and any other large vehicle  popular in town.

I agree with the above comment 100%.

The fact is that been ran over by any car will prob be fatal.

Myself like jon bought a 4X4 disco for a purpose "not to pose in" eg tow our caravan, and I think I have protected my family that little bit more as they dont bend as much as a car in a crash.

We cant win here...the goverment will win hands down.
But It is not fair to be victomised.
The goverment just do what they want !

I wonder why I never Vote ? Cos they are all the same...
