There are far too many people like that that think they can drive, or have no idea of limits, or how to control a vehicle, yet they are loose on the roads with the same entitlement to drive as everyone else, as somehow they managed to satisfy an examiner in a small time slot that they can drive and jumped through the hoops to tick the boxes.

and we all know someone like that don't we :wink:

Yeah, and I'd admit that I'm one of those people, but I never push teh car so it doesn't really matter, but for people that drive much faster, yeah, they should have a harder test, but how do you decide who drives more 'on the limit' and needs to pass a harder test?

Everyone can end up to situation where you are at the limit or over it, rain and oil on road, someone else making foolish move etc. Best would be that everyone who is driving would be trained to handle such situations in first place and also then everyone one would understand limits better and make right decisions on road.

Maybe I should get this so no worries about that Laura anymore :lol:

I like that. I wonder is that streetlegal here. If it is where i could buy one of those :lol: . If i would bought one of those then there is no need to worry when i leave it to car park. No one would open door without extreme caution because their car would definately suffer bigger damege than mine 8) . And on narrow road who you think backs up when there isn't enough room to make safe pass.
Also if some relatives who you don't like come to visit. And if they start behaving unrespectfully and after that you can run over their car with that. They probably won't visit again but they think what they say or they won't speak with you in fear of you crushing their car unless you sell that. So very handy vehicle. :wink:

And don't worry that last thing is only my fantasy.

Of course it is road legal, I would think at least as we do have bit similar vehicles in military anyway, also Tatra is made in Kroatia which is EU member maybe?

Fuel consumption migh be a problem, at off road it drinks a lot, 100l/hour I think :shock:

Oh, I have never been very good on knowing those small countries :oops:

Kamaz has bit too weak chassis or then would need to get only 4x4 and then I could get SISU Proto which is quite lot better ;)
