It's not a case of not liking 4x4's, Lord knows I would love a Jeep Grand Cherokee, it was just my observation.

You and me both Tony, again no objection tom4x4 users, I too have seen the idiotic driving of a minority, I'm plodding along quite steadily at 55/60, and have seen twin axle caravans being towed at 70 plus. Some drivers just seem to think they can drive with the caravan in tow the same way as they do without it. I did the towing and manouvering course and we watched a video of what can go wrong when towing at excess speed. It's not just 4x4s either, large family saloons and estates are just as guilty.
