4WD DRIVERS OBESE AND AGGRESSIVE - IS IT TRUE?


A study by an Australian institute revealed that most Australian four-wheel-drive vehicle owners are often obese, aggressive, intolerant and aged in their 40s or 50s.

It also found 4WD owners are less community minded than other drivers, less charitable, more likely to be homophobic and have a low opinion of indigenous culture.

BERNAMA reported that the Australia Institute study has also found they are more likely to use force to get their way.

The study also found that 4WDS are also far more likely than conventional vehicles to kill or maim other road users, they are less fuel efficient and they are resented by other road users.

Two thirds of their drivers are overweight or obese.

Can the same thing be said of Malaysian 4WD drivers too?

Do you think they more reckless than their Aussie counterparts or better?

What's your say?
