So Land-Rover driver will just have to hope that if they do have a
collision that it is not with another Land-Rover.


That would result in a logically impossible situation. Since impossible
situations cannot occur, Land Rovers cannot ever collide. Thus, all cars
should be replaced with Land Rovers, and there would be no more
collisions. QED.

Er, although i'm not sure how great that would be for non-car road users.
