If you hit someone in a 4WD they are more likely to be injured than if you hit them in a small car. That is a fact. I believe, though am willing to be corrected, that a 4WD is likely to be more dangerous than a car of equivalent weight due to impact height. Apparently this is more relevant for children because they are likely to go under the wheels rather than over the bonnet, IYSWIM?
Don't see many artics or scaffolding lorries used as personal transport, but you are correct that they're more dangerous. Good thing there isn't more of them on the road....
I love 4x4's
Especially when I'm in the wrong lane on the motorway about to miss a junction and need to push in.
Simply look for a 4x4 in the queue and cut in front of it, relieves any guilt you might feel as you know the driver is likely to be a selfish tw*t anyway. Extra points if they have private number plates. 😀

They also make for a durable, rugged door prop for when you're loading shopping into your car at Asdas
The correct choice is a Fiat Doblo 7 seater, with winter tyres.
High seat, loads of space and people smile 'cos they can't believe you're driving something THAT ugly. 🙂
You know what? I just typed out a really long, measured reply. But actually anti 4x4-ers aren't going to listen to reason so please disregard the views of someone who has driven for 40 years and commuted to work by bike for 30 years next year, and please continue to believe the government/Sun/Mirror.
You know people say "oooh I don't know what hit me" ?

Well, now you do.
Sorry for being so anti, but this hysteria really gets on my tits. Mine's Storm Blue, by the way.
Mudmuncher. Ah yes, hilarious. This is the reason why lorries/coaches and caravans crash - no-one ever sees the stupid **** in the car who caused the accident.

Tiredness can kill. Take a break
If you're a 4x4 driver it won't kill [i]you[/i] though. Only the young child whose body crush into the tarmac
Ha ha, yes I get it, but no, I'm not tired, bored with the media-fuelled hysteria though.
I was out in my car earlier, air-con on, servo-assisted brakes and clutch, power steering, I don't think I squished any children into the tarmac, but their cries may have been drowned by Frogstomp on the stereo and the roar of 3 turbo-charged-inter-cooled-litres...
I'm not normally so arsey, but this whole car/blame thing gets right on my wick
since all you parents a busy using up the worlds resources with your off spring I'll carry on with my 4x4 to compensate for not having any kids. After all you'd want to make sure we lived in a fair country.

So its really true!
A 4x4 is just a compensator for a small penis.
DT and RP, you two genuinely just made me laugh!
Karin, I think to some extent you are an exception to the rule. If you're mostly towing when you drive, aren't doing big milages, and aren't trying to justify £60k on a new machine cos its "safer for the kids" but are indeed running around (correct me if I'm wrong) in a vehicle that's over 10 years old anyway...
Sometimes there is a need, sometimes there is a place, but it's certainly not for just dropping the kids off at school in the morning...
I'm all for ostentatious displays of wealth. I love fast expensive cars. I genuinely smile when I see a Ferrari or Lamborghini, or a Rolls Phantom for that matter.
I just don't get why people would blow £60k on a posh Citreon Picasso
Hey man, don't be so unfair! The Citroen Picasso is a genuinely useful family vehicle, with lots of space for its occupants, well thought out load space, and it rides comfortably on its normal sized wheels and tyres. It doesn't make you look like a wannabe drug dealer unlike a Q7 or an X5! 😉

Oh that was so hurtful you nasty, nasty man. I'm still driving my 4x4 on a sunny day with no requirement for such a vehicle, I love it. Tell you what if it rains tomorrow I'll look for a puddle to drive through. Will that help you feel better?
I have a Fiesta.
...I also have a small penis.

Hi Mark, yes, Jinx The Devil Car is 11 years old.
The first car I drove was a half-timbered Morris (the Traveller).. since then I've driven Ford Pop sidevalve, 1955 Austin Princess, Vauxhall Viscount (3.3L auto), Vauxhall Victor Estate (got a motor bike and sidecar on the roof of that and drove back from ? can't remember now), P6 Rover (juicy as ****), Mk I Granada 3L saloon (WANT ANOTHER ONE - but realise these are like rocking horse shit) many M II Granadas (2L and 2.8i Ghia - glorious car but did like a drop of petrol). Fiat something, can't remember, went like stink tho) - oh, lots of cars - great fun. Drove an artic (but only in a car park 🙁 - would have loved to take it out on the road). Can drive a tractor too, with trailer (leading in corn from a combine harvester) and leading in bales with a bale spike, haven't learnt to plough... yet.

you need a 110, the smaller the willy the longer the wheel base.

Well, now you do.
I do so hope it was intentionally ironic that you posted such a small photo.
I wanted a 130 but was told I did not qualify.

I'm so rubbish at posting pictures.... try to imagine a car that weighs 3.08 metric tons, is 5.01m long, 1.93m wide, 1.85m high...
as I'm bearing down on a small child whilst having no penis (I mean I have no penis, not the child) ...

Well. This sure got awkward quickly, (I mean awkward, not penis).
Well I suppose if is was a male child it would have a penis.
Look, let's go back to arguing about 4x4s and forget about penises shall we?
Forget about them??? Have you seen how many guys have to keep putting their hands down their pants to make sure it's still there?
Are you Eminem?
I have noticed men do that. Do us girls do it? I don't think I do (but acknowledge it may be subconscious - whilst fervently hoping that is it not).
EDIT: I mean boobs, of course.

Put your hands down mens pants looking for penises? Not many in my experience.
Memo to self if I have any questions on 4x4's or orange 5's keep them to myself.
Nice to see not all the sausages have been banned.
The guy only wanted a bit of advice on a new car.
Now he is a small dicked child killer, priceless.!

Don't forget he has single handedly destroyed the worlds environment and also a wannabe WAG 😆
Well what do you expect, he got the right advice on page one. It's STW world.

Hey I have an average sized penis and no kids, and used to have a 4x4, but now I don't, although I do want another one. Clearly 4x4s make you gay.

Good God I've created a monster!
Anyway, thanks again for all in the input! Might suggest the wife reads the thread!!
My ohhh my we are getting into convoluted arguments aren’t we.. When the OP asked “my Mrs likes an elevated position” all we really need is my simple and cost effective solution. I shall be applying a patent for it in about 11mins..
