i own a lida nava and am afraid to drive the bloody thing. i always thought the brakes on my ke70 were bad til i drove that bloody thing. I'm convinced the pistons are jammed. and if there not. well shit, it shouldnt be on the road.
clown the suggestions you make are good, however no one is goin to like them. take me for example, i would be all for a 4wd license seeings as i don't drive one.
but i have a 1ggte in a ke70, therefore i don't want a high performance license. and every section of the community will be in uproar about one of the new licences you suggest.
and lets think about it, they all got their drivers license...so whats to stop them passing one of these licenses.
it all has to come down to vehicle design and law enforcement.
less speed camera's on highways or main roads, and a greater police presence in school districts or suburbia where it matters if I'm doin 40 k over the limit.
my friend got booked doing 142 in a 100km zone and she isnt a hoon, it was late night. no traffic and 3 lane highway. she shouldnt have got booked.
ive done 150 in the ke70 in an 80 limit though backroads. i didnt get caught and if i had i don't believe i should get booked because it was late at night and again no traffic.
if i got pulled over doin 70 down a narrow suburban street with housing close to the road, then yes i should get booked because its dangerous to other people. i think this is the problem. the law is followed to the letter, not the spirit. good drivers getting caught 15k over on the motorway and then there are awful drivers running into things and endangering pedestrians and road users get away scott free.
its all about enforcing the right sections of the law. not just enforcing the law.
and yes 4wd's are big and scary, and no they shouldnt be on small city streets. but you will never get them off there so we have to make them drive safely by enforcing laws.
i really do doubt there is a realistic/feasable solution to the problem...
