Do You Remember?

[Hopkirk]

In the 70s if you drove with your lights on in daylight, people would flash you.

I remember Volvo drivers got really annoyed with this after Volvo cars were fitted with "daylight running lights".

I had a motorbike, and started driving with my headlight on. So many motorbikes were having people pull out of junctions in front of them that it made sense.

People used to flash me to turn it off.

Hoppers... all you really needed was a full set of red white and blue "Captain America" leathers. ;o)

Accidents have happened where headlights appeared to flash e.g. a bike going over some bumps & another driver took that as a signal to pull out or turn. I don't flash at all!

I now go for eye contact and a thumbs up if I let someone out.

You would think people would have understood motorbikes having lights on, considering Jimmy Hill's advert at the time.
