Default Then and now....

I wanted to make the point (it was the Armmstrong Siddeley Sapphire
thread) that the difference between 'motoring' 50 years ago, when I were a
lad and would go out for the day in me dad's lorry (which I learned to
drive at the age of 12), is that if a car came tearing up behind you with
his headlights on full beam you would actually pull over to let him pass
as it would certainly have been an emergency. Nowadays, if the same thing
happens, you 'give him the finger' and a dab on the brakes, just to *lern
the fukka*.....


I still pull over to let them pass.
As often as not there is a speed trap round the
next bend:-))
