WHIFF OF HYPOCRISY ON 4X4S
There is more than a whiff of hypocrisy from readers who rushed to
criticise me for driving a 4x4 (Letters September 24 & October 1).
Did none of your correspondents ever put their own and their families'
interests before those of others>
When I take my children to school, the road is so jammed with 4x4s that
I have to double park. So why no word of support in your columns from
the other drivers?
Mr Guy King (October 1) is right that, in an ideal world,drivers should
not use mirrors to reverse, but I am not able to see through the rear
window when my boys are leaping around in the back.
