Observations from my 2020 "Staycation"

Glad the journey went well.

How do us “experts” get involved in speeding trivia?
The fact is as tuggers we are probably the few who understand the physics of towing and the consequences of going too fast. I’m with Parksy. Let the idiot racers get in front and leave you well way from them. I have a dash cam but I will not use it to report naughty boys. Can’t be bothered .
Driving solo is of course totally different . Most modern cars are capable of 110 mph +. We all know you will get nicked and get banned for a large period of time.Towing at 55-60 on the speedo is comfortable, safe ,economic and stress free. What’s wrong with that.😇😇😇

My Mrs hates speed, she was pleasantly surprised how easy out first tow back with our van was for a 4 hour journey at 55mph, I was also a very relaxed driver.

Which is why we prefer the Camping and Caravan satnav where you can input the dimensions of your unit.

Smiling here. There speaks a man with unbelievable faith!

The roads are getting pretty lawless these days, bring back the old jam butty cars I say

We have noticed since the lockdown started and I mentioned it in another post. Almost as if people are now suicidal? Reminds me of the book "On the Beach" by Neville Shute.

I don’t get how some of the youngsters in these high powered cars get the insurance, when I was learning insurance was dearer than the car! I’m assuming most aren’t insured

Their insurance is often from specialist insurers who are effectively high rate loan providers who allow payments on a monthly or weekly basis - they typically make their money from the loan repayments, not the insurance.

But where they get the money from I don't know!
