Re: Just another day in Cornwall
How many times did I used to encounter stuff like this when I used to drive in the Cotswolds .

I like the SatNav joining in... "Learn how to reverse when possible..."

Re: Just another day in Cornwall
When my children learned to drive a few years ago I started going out with them for practice. It soon became apparent that new drivers are not taught how to reverse, merely how to reverse into a parking space. We subsequently spent some time driving backwards around empty train station car parks to the extent that they are both now very competent at reversing. I'm not sure how this duty fell to me after they shelled out £25/hour or so to their instructors, but suspect it's sadly the norm.

Yes indeed.... I've been impressed with the way lorry drivers handle these lanes - even the car seemed to be touching both sides at once!Richard Simpson Mark II wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 4:06 pm Still easier to reverse a car down than drive a lorry up, though!

Autonomous vehicles on Cornish lanes...discuss!
Will they identify my local roads, which have a green/brown stripe up the middle, as two pavements?
