Dr Steven Wilkinson, surgeon, bought a Hummer, shows it off, tells of his road trauma work, and says it is the only way to keep safe and promote road safety. Harold Scruby, Pedestrian Council of Aust, says this is selfish. The Tas Motorcycle Council condemns this use of a Hummer.

Great way to protect yourself on the roads - make yourself a danger to everyone else. And what happens if another Hummer runs into you? Normally I think Harold Scruby is a media tart and a tool, but I can't argue with him here.

@nachospole1 Harold Scruby is a militant campainer because his stupid daughter didn't look before crossing the road and was killed. Now he is an expert!!! WTF. Check out his website and see the proposals the fuckwit want's implemented. Tow balls removed from a vehicle when not used for towing so peds don't hurt their leg in a carpark

@nachospole1 The ratings are done from analysis at identical speeds into a solid wall. What do you think will come off second best if a hummer and a clio collided in a road accident.

The fact is the energy from the crash has to go somewhere..if the body and chassis dont take it guess whos body will?

[nachospole1]

haha the funny thing is that the hummer has a 3 star rating for crash safety a reanult clio has 4 star lol so he would be safer in a small european car lol
