I'LL be delighted when the fad for 4x4 vehicles fades.

As far as I'm concerned they should be banned from urban life and limited to the country folk who really need them.

And why is it that most of them I see are driven by women? Do they feel safer on the roads in these heavyweight tanks?

I was never fond of the vehicles, but my dislike has intensified since one moved temporarily into my row.

In just a few weeks its huge wide tyres have churned up and dislodged the cared for right of way behind the homes, and being short term residents the owners naturally don't give a monkey's.

Can't wait to see the back of the things.
