See the theme creeping in constantly?

'Luxury vehicles'
'Costing upwards of $100K'

Then throw in the 'safety aspect' which Citroen rightly pointed out it has nothing to do with the green angle they're targeting:

Um, thats not an SUV Sophie

Was mentioned on AFF before that these people are in a minority and that just because they're loud that it won't effect the rest of us, or something along those lines.

They might be a minority but they're disproportionately powerful and hold significant influence where it counts. How quick have you seen a council move like this before?

Curious to see the effects of this, because our TAFE is in their LGA and a lot of the students have Thailand Specials, vans et al, you know cause electrical apprentices.

They only sell like 200-250 Silverados/RAMs a month, its just that they're prominent so they stick out like dogs balls, there's not that many of them on our roads.
Wouldn’t be surprised if more children and pedestrians are injured by rouge cyclists and E scooter riders than vehicles the greens love to hate.
