1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation down. 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 2: To the judgy. No matter of arms for the pub 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 2: test today four wheel drives do they pass the pub test? 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 2: SUVs are more popular than ever in Australia, but there 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 2: is a downside. 6 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: Well, the fact they're so popular is amazing, and other 7 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 1: countries around the world that people are getting into smaller, 8 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: less guzzling cars. 9 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 2: What I was in Germany on holidays and one thing 10 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 2: I noticed was there was no You'd only see one 11 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: or two four will drive four will drives around the place. 12 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: Well, Australia is a very different story. More than fifty 13 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: percent of new vehicles sold last year were SUV's. The 14 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: biggest age group buying them are the people who are 15 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: over thirty five years old, because they of course like 16 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: the increase of visibility. Who wouldn't, But they're terribly dangerous 17 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: for the rest of us. When you're the only ones 18 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: who can. 19 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 2: Write brother, this get out of town Toyota highlights rugged thing. 20 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 2: It's called rugged and it's I took it for a triy. 21 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 2: So this thing goes like a like a very quick car. 22 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: Wow, you're a woodsman, must. 23 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 2: Be very really really but in case, it's got a 24 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: turbo and a gas. 25 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: Really, it's massive for city streets. And as a cyclist, 26 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: a motorcyclist you said earlier, how hard I. 27 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: Just noticed anecdotically. And I don't want to be a 28 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 2: hypocrite because I've got a toy a land cras our 29 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: old school eighty sers land Creis, but I'd probably drive 30 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: it once a month, And as people listen to the 31 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: show know, I'd ride a motorcycle every day. That's what 32 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: I choose to take. But over the years, what I've 33 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 2: noticed with the proliferation of full drives on the road 34 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: that motorcyclists advantage is the visibility that you have over 35 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: all the roofs of all the other cars, so you 36 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: can pick your line in the traffic. When you get 37 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 2: all these full drives there, you're not getting the lines 38 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: that used to get. 39 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: And also this fall drives make it so hard to 40 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: park anywhere. It's hard to drive up and down suburban streets. 41 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: Four wall drives they passed the PUB test all past 42 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: sub test depends where you live in the city. 43 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: No way in the country. 44 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: Absolutely, you've got roos and everything else, so you're not 45 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: in the city. What are you get a seat down there? 46 00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: People? 47 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: Is a pub test because when you live out west, 48 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: you need a four wheel drive quite often. Well, if 49 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: that's the only vehicle you own, that's the only vehicle 50 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: you own. A lot of us can't afford in two cars. 51 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: Wall drive one hundred and ten past the pubcast. 52 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: We live in the country figures Europe, we need to 53 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 2: double tanks your fall drives that just make takes. Yeah, 54 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 2: not botherm mate. I think that they should be out 55 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 2: in a monstrous I don't like them at all. I 56 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: think that some and dads only get them because they 57 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: think that they're more safer because they're up higher. 58 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: I mention your reasons of mine. 59 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: I have a little SUV, so I probably i'm the 60 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 2: guilty party. But I don't have a massive guddler. I'm 61 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: small suv because I'm single and I need the spacement 62 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 2: back when I get FETA chair and all sort of 63 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: stuff like that, because I don't have a use because 64 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 2: I'm single. 65 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: Because I don't don't have a use. I don't have 66 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: a use. 67 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: You should get to use. 68 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: That would be a great wouldn't it just be a 69 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: great thing? 70 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: And then we need to move stuff when we move buildings. 71 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: We could funny for the one time every six months. 72 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: You might need to move furniture around in the city 73 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: to have a car just for that. I get why 74 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: it's great for you to have it, but it really 75 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: impacts everybody else. 76 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: Thank you for all your calls. 77 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: But I say you, I don't mean you. They're rhetorical 78 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: collective view
