So Land-Rover driver will just have to hope that if they do have a

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.

Fair enough.

Could you make a bus derivative of a Land Rover?

Since some countries get 12 seats in a 110 Station Wagon, you could do a
passible imitation of a bus with a 130, let alone a 150...

Mine would seat 13 passengers + driver. So in TfL service that would be
39 passengers, 20 of whom wouldn't have valid tickets.
