A very long time ago it was widely believed that the human body could not
withstand traveling in excess of 20mph. Could somebody please inform all the OAP drivers that this has since been disproved. Thank you. |

But not if it's a youngster driving at an inappropriate speed or having that accident. Far too many to report... -- *Remember: First you pillage, then you burn. Dave Plowman London SW 12 |

Learned medical opinion once held that it would be impossible to breathe if travelling in excess of 15mph, but there was never any similar view about 20mph. Could somebody please inform all the OAP drivers that this has since been disproved. Thank you. I see that Doug's absence has created a gap in uk.transport that is attracting would be successors. BTW my late mother used to drive at 50mph everywhere, including towns. Colin Bignell |

No half-measures, flat out or stopped. I think he believed the lowest gear possible should be used at every road speed ..... He once chased (In a Morris 1000 Traveller) a Pheasant across a ploughed field .. because he fancied something other than Roast Beef for Sunday Dinner ... -- Paul - xxx '96/'97 Landrover Discovery 300 Tdi Dyna Tech Cro-Mo comp |

I'm now quite concerned that your grandfather is the same person as mine ;-) He was a terror in his Morris 1000. I doubt he ever took a driving test (and if he had he wouldn't have passed it..) |
