Driving a Seven in modern day Traffic

[Ivor Hawkins]

I am forced to drive the Seven on the very busy A43, I have no choice in order to get out of the village and to the nearest town, so I dice with high speed traffic and 40 ton trucks nearly every day.

I drive my Seven like I ride my motor cycle, in other words, assume everyone’s out to kill you. I keep my eye in my mirror, I make clear hand signals and just keep watching, however, I always use the country lanes and B roads whenever possible, particularly at night.

I don’t have flashing lights or reflective signs, if the conditions are bad, I take the modern!
