Is The Car/van Now The 'weapon Of Choice'?
In tried asking this on the thread about the Finsbury Park Mosque but think it deserves a thread in it's own right.
I appears that the car/van was become the 'weapon of choice' for anyone that wants to kill people !
I am scared by this as using a car has none of the problems of using a gun . Cars are not regulated but guns are very tightly controlled , at least in the UK!
I AM NOT looking for the political implications, just the wider and more relevant practical implications that using something that we all accept as normal or even mundane as a weapon!
Is it feasible or even possible to produce a viable defence against such attack ?

DD I am talking about the general problem of vehicles being used as a weapon !
NOT the 'Terrorist' aspect but the general concept of a car being used as a weapon in preference to more conventional weapons such as knives and guns.
Vehicles have been used as weapons in purely criminal activities . As well as 'ram raids' and similar attacks.
My corner shop has been 'ram raided' 4 times in the last 10 years the last time they stole the entire cash point machine with all the cash in it!

A car or van would be nothing to the damage that a deranged maniac with a large fork lift truck could do !!! It could simply pick up a car or van and drop it on the crowd! Some forklifts can pick up a 35 tonne container and drop it wherever the driver chooses. Yes I have passed a fork truck driving course!
