| Have you ever seen a 4x4 crash due to heavey breaking? I've seen a brand new range rover barrel roll down the m27 once, nasty. He slammed the brakes on, tried to dodge the car in front and it flipped over 4 times, stopping some 200 yards away. And it bounced over everything on the way. Driver was killed. The feds reckon he was only doing 50!!
Own a 4x4 for road use only, NEVER. To me, it's a coffin waiting to be used.
5th Gear highlighted the problems with 4x4's. Their not as safe as you think, infact quite the opposite really. |
