Datmanbu - Driving Tips PDF Print E-mail

These pages are copies taken from the Owners' Manual for the 1931 Minor. Enjoy the description of hand signals. Amaze yourself with information on tramways - now making a comeback after 70 years (Brighton lost its trams at the outset of the 2nd World War but with Peace gained the beloved trolleybuses). Perplex yourself with the politically incorrect reference to children. Above all, recapture the essence of a bygone age.
Remember that this was published just before the first edition of the Highway Code(does anyone have a copy?) and also before the Driving Test was introduced. When I took my test in the late 1950's we still had to perform the hand signals and be aware of the whip signals as there were still horse-and-carts on the roads.
