Dear Sir or Madam

[SpringTime]

Your 4x4 might be larger or smaller than you think.

It is wise to measure the width and length of the vehicle before purchase, and once purchased to practise both parking and passing other road users in narrow streets.

(Parking in an average sized space is usually better achieved using a reverse manoeuvre, rather than ploughing in head first.)

It is also common courtesy to thank other road users when they have allowed you to pass, especially when they have stopped and pulled over to do so. Even a modest acknowledgement would be appreciated. Such behaviour is free of charge.

Thank you.

Might need to be more specific, SpringTime. That could be about 30% of the local population.

As low as only 30% !!!!

Measuring the width would be pointless, as it?s a well known fact that your car?s width changes depending how fast it?s going. At least, that?s what most drivers seem to believe in London, as they slow to under 2 mph to make their vehicle narrow enough to pass anyone coming the other way.

Great thread :))

And, you're entitled, obviously. Otherwise why spend all that money?
