I wanted to make the point (it was the Armmstrong Siddeley Sapphire

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:-))

See KG has the rose tinted specs on again.
50 years ago trucks were so slow they didn't have to pull in to let things
pass. Large trucks would be down to walking pace on anything even
approaching a hill.
