Four by Four Syndrome


It is common knowledge that the suburban drivers of 4 wheel drive vehicles think they are bullet proof. What is less well known is that they think these cars make their passengers bullet proof as well.

This allows them to pull stunts like this driver, seen parked in the no-standing zone outside our school at approximately 8.45 this morning. Not content with ignoring the no standing zone active at that time, they stopped in the intersection of Haig and Withers, to drop their child for school.

If this driver is your parent, perhaps you could suggest some driving lessons, or a new bike, so you can take yourself to school in relative safety.

In the interests of public safety, the vehicle was a metallic silver Mitshubishi 4 wheel drive and the personalized number plate started with the letters LEE. If you are walking or driving near Bunbury Senior High School while the school zone is active, keep a sharp lookout for this vehicle, keep at a safe distance, and expect the unexpected.
The driver may have an undiagnosed brain injury.
