A world of indifferences

[Mark McKibbin]

Sadly, where I live, I usually find a BMW on my tail, trying to run me off the road. I'm usually driving the Chummy, which is good for 50mph on a reasonable road so I'm making good progress but the modern drivers here have no time or patience to recognise an old car.
Moreover, we live on a main road and trying to turn right into our drive with semaphore or hand signals, well you take your life in your hands. I have been overtaken on at least three occasions while signalling a right turn and slowing down.
These days, I fit flashing indicators to all my cars, just so that modern drivers can see what I'm doing. It makes sense.

Yes we are in the minority, after I was passed while doing a right turn using hand signals I realised hand signals mean nothing to the current generation of drivers so all my cars now have very bright indicators.
