So glad I got to drive in those cars, on those roads, at that time. Having recently retired from truck driving I was glad to say goodbye to the jams, the stupid rules, the poor standards and the aggression. Now I live in the countryside and I enjoy my driving again.
The same with me; I really loved that, being petrol tanker drivers we had to stay in the cab during breaks, but, being tankers, space heaters are illegal and we were not allowed to idle the engine. OK to freeze to death though! Only allowed to park up in specified service areas but, if you arrived when no spaces available, it was illegal to park in an unauthorised area but also illegal to move on if out of hours.
Not pleasant on the roads these days especially in London with ulez , with thousands of perfectly usable motors scrapped or laid up, well come to that lots of towns and city's now have so many restrictions it's rediculous,
And now we have much safer cars, but morons playing with their phones ! I still own a car from this era, its is going to be a real learning curve when I put it back on the road

I'm glad you enjoyed it, I found this literally by accident it's turned out to be a gem👍

I used to and still do love these old information films. Oh for the old times
Great stuff, from a time when you actually drove your car!
Glad you liked it!
