I may have just been extremely silly - I have emailed [email protected] (from my personal email) and passed them the link.
I have made no mention of the fact I am D3 owner working in Central London...

Strikes me that an aggressive 4x4 killing machine simply misses the point about personal responsibility. I'm sick and tired of the way things are going where the innocent responsible driver has to be more concerned about the irresponsible jay-walking crack-head than he does about his choice of vehicle.
I was busy learning the Green Cross Code while these people we being kept away from the rest of society by their concerned parents. I was learning about survival in the modern world while they were being taught to hug trees and avoid a days work. I've got to where I am through damn hard work and not through state hand-outs and excuses.
If some tw*t wants to stagger blindly onto the kings highway then he is fair game for any vehicle. IT'S THEIR OWN FAULT no matter what kind of vehicle hits them.
I think we should be getting Darwinian points for removing them from the gene pool.

As with all lobbying, the key is to shout louder, or kick up enough fuss, PR stunts and the like to make yourself and your cause heard.
To fight such issues, you need to form an organisation, arm yourself with the facts (not opinions sadly) and shout i.e. issue a regular stream of press releases / news briefings, PR stunts that focus on the messages you want to get across.
I believe there are plenty of, if not necessarily pro-4x4 organisations more anti the prejudice, out there, but they are small voices in the crowd I’m afraid. The anti 4x4 appear to be doing a better job (and I hate myself for suggesting this).
When the press need a comment or a response they turn to who they know or to what bit of a press release arrives on their desk at that moment. Our facts need to be on their desks.

And it's much more possible to hit an intoxicated individual here in scotland, since they now have to stagger outside the pubs and sway about on the pavement whilst they have a fag....LOL 2007 TDV6 HSE 'Silver Lady'. With 'free' privacy glass LOL.

Those so called anti 4x4 people or group commonly use tacktics of intimation on 4x4 vehicle owners. They encourage the violence and promote criminal activities such as damaging other people’s property (namely 4x4). These activities and ideaology fits them perfectly within the definition of terrorist organisation.
Now since we are still at war with terrorisum, these groups should be marked as enermy from within and should be classed as public enermy NO.1. And it is every democracy loving citizen’s responsibility to fight agianst them and wipe them out.

Good point well made. Quick surf of t'internet and among the many definitions was..
"a psychological strategy of war for gaining political ends by deliberately creating a well-founded climate of fear among the civilian population. "
