4WD drivers 'fat, homophobic' [View All]

[kweerwolf]

FORGET the ads that show fit, rugged, 30-something-year-olds navigating flood plains and climbing mountains in the snazzy 4WDs.

The reality is, drivers of the suburban monsters are often obese, aggressive, intolerant and aged in their 40s or 50s.

A new study has found that city owners of large four-wheel-drive vehicles are less community minded than other drivers, less charitable, more likely to be homophobic and have a low opinion of indigenous culture.

The Australia Institute study has also found they are more likely to use force to get their way.
