Are 4x4 drivers Public Enemy Number 1?

 
A report released in the Independent by the British Medical Journal concludes that the drivers of 4x4s are 4 times more likely to be using their mobile phone while driving, and more likely to be driving without a seatbelt. Read the full report here. 

the Alliance joins the World Naked Bike Ride

 
Members of the Alliance joined up with the World Naked Bike Ride in London on 10th July to help protest about oil dependency and car use. We wore white M&S pants with slogans like '4x4s are full or arse' and 'bullocks to 4x4s'. The day was a complete success with almost 1,000 people attending the event. 

4x4s Cause Damage at the Carwash

Mark Collins writes: "You may want to add that you might be turned away from a carwash if you own a 4x4. I work for the UK's biggest carwash supplier and I can confirm that the biggest petrol stations are beginning to ban 4x4's from their washes, as a result of damage to their equipment. I can name one site that had over £6500 damage caused in 6 weeks from various 4x4's. Most carwashes cannot effectively 'see' the spare wheels and bull bars, and as a result try to wash the car as if its not there. Net result? smashed and bashed machinery.
Oh, and the most common damage caused by 4x4's? Customers driving into the carwash, because they cannot judge the width of the car correctly. The funniest accidents are caused by the owners of crewcab pick-ups. The roofbrush gets stuck in the loadbed, leaving owners trapped for ages.....what a shame."

Footballers Wives - Blondes Do Have More Fun

 
Last week the Alliance dressed up as the footballers wives - blokes as well - and showed just how much fun blondes can have protesting against 4x4s. We turned the heads of many men, not least of all the Chelsea players themselves as they showed up for footie practice.
What team is next as we seek to educate our championship league? Stay tuned!
