An activist group against SUVs admit they 'destroyed' at least 60 tyres at a car dealership in retaliation to the deaths of two school children who died after a Land Rover crashed through the fence of their school last month.
A spokesman for Vertu Motors, which owns Jaguar Exeter, said: ‘Trespass and damage to private property are not acceptable. The matter is now in the hands of the police.’
The driver of the car involved in the school crash – a 46-year-old woman from Wimbledon – was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.Selena Lau was also killed in the tragedy Tyre Extinguishers is aiming to ‘make it impossible’ to own SUVs in urban areas. It describes them as ‘a climate disaster’, ‘dangerous’ and ‘unnecessary’.
SUVs feature elements of standard cars but are larger and have off-road capabilities such as high ground clearance.Tyre Extinguishers believes electric and hybrid SUVs are also ‘fair game’ as there are ‘not enough rare earth metals’ to replace all cars with them, and ‘the danger to other road users still stands’.
Its supporters began deflating SUV tyres in towns and cities across the UK in March 2022, and the movement has since spread overseas.
