Dear Folks I hate 4WD's, they a great nusiance for the environment. THese vehicles consume a lot of petrol and consequently contribute to the greenhouse gas emissions and disrupt the beaches and national parks. The solution would be to introduce a $100,000 levey on 4WD vehicles except if the car is purchased for commercial uses such as farming, mining or forestry and additionally increase petrol prices to 2 dollar per litre. To support my argument I do not own a car and only hire one once a month to drive less than 400 km/month. > A 4WD costs $150,000 in Denmark, so that would be right. The problem would be that the so called "democracy" will prevent this proposal to be implemented here! Think about it Niels > > > |
