Now this DOES annoy me about 4X4 drivers!?

Question:
We were at a horse riding event this weekend. Next to me was parked a '96 Discovery with a double horse trailer, same as my outfit. Driver a youngish slim fella (no dizzy blondes etc!). Car is sitting with front wheels slowly turning, and standing still. "Try putting the diff lock on" I called to him. "The what? I've put it into 4 wheel drive, but no use. I'm stuck". I replied "But it's full time 4 wheel drive. The diff lock is used by moving the little gear stick to the left". "No, he argued, that's for switching between 2 and 4 wheel drive".
Needless to say, I engaged high range, diff lock on and pulled away with no probs. Now THAT is what annoys me about 4X4 drivers!!

Spare a thought for all those who drive sensible, less-polluting, less dangerous to pedestrians, ordinary cars. They have to put up with the sad posers in their chav wagon, 4x4s (or SUVs as some like to call them), with their tinted windows, bull bars, extra headlights (which are never used) and spray-on mud, who take up 2 parking spaces, tailgate smaller cars over road humps, and barge their way around, as if they own the road.

At least he bought a vehicle suitable for the job. The amount of people in CarQnA.com that believe all 4x4's are evil is unbelievable. There's very few vehicles that could take a horse box with two horses in it into a field and get it back out again. I work in the motor trade and I truly believe that most 20 year old vehicles that get scrapped with a user manual that has never been opened. Quite often people need to be shown what their vehicle is capable of and what all the buttons and levers do.
