So, is the concensus that the cost of 4x4's should be increased so as to discourage people from using them?

Originally posted by ArdescoHow many times do we need to say it, in the 70's you didn't have to put a child seat roughly half the size of your rear seat into the car, nowdays you do because of the change in law. It is the fact that you have to shove all kids under 11 (or a certain height) into a child seat that is stopping us from shoving 4 kids in the back now.

It has always been illegal to have more occupants that seats.Comment

No I don't agree with pricing them off the road they already pay more road tax and fuel duty, I'd make them only available in pink, restrict them to 56mph and limit them to the first 2 lanes so they have to play uphill drag racing with the HGV’s on the motorway.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
