Touched one hundred in a beige cortina going down smithills dean road. Bloke driving looked that scene from planes, trains and automobiles when they almost get wiped out by the trucks.
Such was the inadequacy of the car we were still doing sixty when we entered the thirty zone. Seemed to take for ever to stop. Never been so scared in a car.
Looking back we were lucky, one of the lads from sixth form wasn't, and was killed around the same time just round the corner.
Seriously influences your driving style, happy to trundle around steadily getting decent fuel economy.
