Quiet frankly I haven't heard of any fatal road accidents caused by 4wds being lifted in years? While in the last week, how many people died in accidents involing falcadores?? Tool box, don't forget you can legaly lift your 4wd up to 50mm (in most states even less), before you actully need an Engineers Certificate!! Also most 4wd these days, need and can afford a decent lift for better offroad function!!

Previously we used to play guessing games to find the P-Platers, but would never truely know. Now it is like a spot light has been put on them, and after you see some silly behavior, and make a guess of P plater action, you can actually see you are right. You never realised how stupid they are till the spot light was put on them In QLD we never used to have to display “P” plates (up until 2-3 years ago??)

Lifting them basically negates whatever protection u may have in a car. All five stars out the window because some underendowed moron wants to lift his 4WD. Lifted 4WD shouldn't be allowed on the road. Unfortunately these urban assault vehicles are allowed to cruise our city streets for no good reason.

Sort of the 4wd equivalent of a vy/vx commodore driver.LOL.

If there are no witnesses I would suggest the following scenario, a p plater decides to change lanes during a red light, they sweep into the next lane, another car already under breaking struggles to stop, and then plows into the back, there was no chase, the whole thing could very well be a lie... similar to the \"chik chick boom girl\" or there is a sociopathic 4wd owner out there, who thought what better way to test out their new bullbar, than plow into the back of some p plater with bad taste in music and 2 subwoofers to prove it. BTW for interstate readers, the western suburbs has the highest concentration of cars with rims-and-stereos-being-worth-more-than-the-car drivers, 2nd only to the eastern suburbs of melbourne.

I have to admit that I personally have been tempted to do the same to some of these D heads but have so far managed to let reason prevail. I can sure sympathise with anyone who gets pushed over the edge though. Can’t for the life of me imagine what the P Plater must have been up to.
