Why does the Cabriolet driver get to impose conditions on others? Do I get to insist that Cabriolet drivers (which must be the most impractical form of vehicle given our recent summer weather) must 'need' their vehicles for driving with the top down & their hair blowing in the wind?I for one have no problem with women or men using them it they need the vehicle to go off road or carry/ pull heavy loads.

Or perhaps a bit of 'live & let live' should apply?
Is it not wonderfull that there is no bigger problems in the world that motivated and well meaning people can spend their time and energy on.Print off a load of these and stick them on the windscreen of any SUV you see parked miles from rural muck.

At what cost to everyone else though? If every motorist drove a SUV it would be real-life dodgems. And where would the Koyoto emissions levels be?
If you want a high vehicle there are plenty of mini-SUV / MPV's around. We all take our chances when out on the road and there shouldn't be a section of the motoring public driving around in glorified tanks, cocooned from any personal danger while posing a serious threat to all other road users.
Why is a responsibly driven SUV a serious threat to all other road users? I've driven SUVs for years and I have never been involved in any crash while I was driving. Driver irresponsibility is the major cause of road traffic accidents and not the type of vehicle one drives, which is why the ad camaigns aim at getting people to slow down, not to drink and drive and belt up - no mention of taking SUVs off the road. Young male drivers are the highest risk group re. accidents - where I live in the south east lots of these guys are speeding( I've seen some crazy driving by these guys on bad rural roads) around in micras, civics, corollas and the like - why should I be prohibited from driving an SUV to protect myself and my family against these guys ?
What if the same boy racers were driving SUV's?
Does that mean you get a tank?

The pertinent point is they aren't.
But if they were,
The Government really does need to tax them off the road and change the mentality back towards compact small engined cars.
People are of course free to buy what they want - but for many, just don't pretend it's for anything other than status reasons.
And if you followed that logic any expenditure above the minimum on any product could be regarded as ostentatious. It's ladas, council houses and bottles of stout for everybody so!
No offence, but this is the downside to people having too much disposable income: it just has to be spent on consumption.
You're in the majority with the above philosophy and that is why we are using up the earth's resources at an unprecedented rate.
I trust that sits well with you.
