I may sound a little fascist, but while I agree the drummer should be allowed these vehicles, the soccer mom should not! Okay, it isn't enforceable, but I reckon an offroad vehicle should require offroad training, certification and at least 12 offroad excursions a year, so anyone who wants one has to show they're using it
And in response to Lectric>>The more mass an object carries, the more intertia. The more inertia, the less damage to said object.
That last sentence? I don't think so. What you'll find is the more inertia, the more said object wants to go through or over other objects. This can in fact result in more damage to said object.
Apologies for correcting basic physics errors.
