I think 40 and 30 are both far too fast.
Consider the poor bugger in front with the red flag. His plimsolls would melt at that speed. peace & Love poshie |

Talking about speed.
Young chap I know had his first driving lesson just the other day. I am not envious one bit and the thought of having to re-sit, if I ever had too, the driving test. Would fill me with dread. All this theoretical nonsense for a start. Not to mention you have to look under the bonnet nowadays when your having lessons. When I took my test I was in the car for 20 minutes and answered five questions on the Highway Code to get me through it. I kid you not. One of those asked was, “When would you consider wearing sunglasses when driving” I thought for a moment about saying, “I don’t own a pair of sunglasses. I live up North” Then thought better of it.

You can get staff now with EPO injected muscles that can easily do a steady 45mph. I read a road test of one in last months ‘Top Butler’ magazine. I must say though I have quite a fondness for Bernard because he does 0 to Impertinent in a little over 7.5 ‘tutts’, so I might keep him a bit longer and just run him into the ground. Quote:
Things were much simpler back then. I don’t remember any questions about sunglasses. My poor eyesight of these later years prevents me from wearing a sunmonocle whilst driving so I now have a prescription windscreen with clip-on dark glass attached above that I just winch down with a little brass pulley whenever the Sun graces us with its presence. Don’t know how Bernard copes with the glare, because I try not to talk to staff. I have staff who do my talking to staff. Note to self: Once these posting glitches of late are sorted out I must trouble myself to explain what the thread title has to do with Brexit. Believe it or not I have perceived a connection whilst driving to a session last Friday. I parked Bernard up outside. Kind Regards, Lord Slutty of Rimmershire.

I don’t know wether they still do it or not. But in the Olsen times. The examiner would walk out of the test centre with you and then select a parked vehicle a little way off and ask you to read the number plate of said car.
Trying to be as jovial as possible and make a connection with my examiner. I squinted a bit and said, “Car...... what car” I got a look of sheer boredom and a tick in some box on the clipboard hecwas holding. Probably said “Twat” in italics. Maybe the thought of me returning to sit a second test was too much for him to cope with. So he passed me instead.

I bet he`d never heard that one before, in fact I`m pretty sure I used something similar, I also hit the kerb during several manouvres and still passed.
I reckon the examiners took an intelligent overview of competance in those days rather than ticking sufficient boxes. Still we`ll all be `driving` RC electic cars before long...can`t wait That said maybe its not all bad news : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nze936uWQT4

Don’t you believe it Jo. If it ever gets produced, those electric motors will propel it at an incredible pace. Just ask anyone who’s driven a Tesla.
