Guidelines

Before ticketing the urban 4x4s in your area, it is important to take note of the following important points. The Alliance Against Urban 4x4s cannot take responsibility for any trouble you may get into with them so please follow our sensible guide to avoiding this.

Advice on using the tickets:

• To issue a ticket, simply identify a parked wastemonster and slip the ticket under the windscreen wiper on the passenger side.
• Avoid folding the ticket. Part of the point of the campaign is that passers by can read the information too.
• Don’t issue tickets to moving or occupied vehicles. This might distract the driver and cause an accident.
• Stick to the public highway and never go onto anyone’s private property to issue a ticket.
• Use the lightest of touches when issuing the tickets, and take very great care not to damage the vehicle in any way.
• Never use glue or tape, or attach tickets to vehicles with anything else. People in America have been sued for this kind of thing.
• Stick to the big models (see the back of the ticket for a rough list and avoid the little ones like the Justy and Fiat Panda) and make sure you look out for signs of genuine off-road use, such as mud or equipment in the back. We want the farmers who need these things on our side, so try not to annoy them by mis-targeting.
• Avoid knowingly ticketing the same vehicle more than once. The tickets should be a gentle hint to help urban drivers think twice about their choice – not a tool of harassment. In any case, there are many, many more urban 4x4s than we have tickets, so spread them around as many different vehicles as you can.
• Please share these guidelines with anyone you pass tickets on to as well.

All that said, we are very grateful for your help with the campaign, and do hope that you have as much fun targeting the 4x4s afflicting your life as we do.
