What makes an SUV an irresponsible car? Irresponsible drivers make mistakes... they are not sports cars and should not be driven as one. Otherwise....Extremely Dangerous offroad? Are u nuts.. While there is a danger is is very small for the avg. offroaders and the danger is to the driver who chose to take the risk not bystanders. Obviously the danger goes higher for off road speed racing but again to the driver. It remains extremely low in the Rock Crawling competitions. ATV use is new relatively. The learning curve is kicking it. Their speeds are coming down and their good stewardship of land they use is on the rise. As an AVID offroader (Lightly published amateur journalist in offroad circles, and Moderator of a well know hardcore 4x4 web site [pirate4x4.com] I know of thousands of 4 wheelers that take pride in their good stewardship of mother earth. There are far less jerks and uneducated offroaders and it is they that cause problems. Unfortunately it is the Jerks and uneducated that are visible and what opinions are based on. The offroading world is working VERY hard to reach the uneducated offroaders and to curb the Jerks. I love my offroading adventures yet I see upcomming fuel problems. My decision to go with Bio-Diesel/ Veg oil use is largely based on wanting to do better for the economy and to further protect the land I love to explore, Yeah protect... as in wont have to dig a new wells for oil to provide my and other offroaders fuel needs. And the Veg oil use keeps the farmers working.
