Plenty of places round here where if you meet a farm tractor, like as
not you back up until there is room (often made by people driving up
the bank to make an unofficial passing place).


I regularly that my Tank for a drive up our single track lane as a traffic
calming measure, amazing how useless some SUV type people are at reversing

Nice. ;-) [1]


This (driving a 'tank') is often used by folk as a way of 'protecting
them and their family' but they are either unaware ... or are and
simply don't care that the only way that will work is if they crash
into something smaller, putting other peoples families at greater
risk. ;-(

This is simply not true if the tank is driven at a sensible speed. The
only people who will suffer will be those driving at a stupid or
inconsiderate as well as stupid speed.






Of course this game only ends when we are all driving tanks. ;-(

the scenes at Duxford with a 'Friend of Duxford' and the Muckleburgh
Military Collection (and rode in a what I think was a BV 206)?
