The different door handles on different models

[David Stepney]

I recall from my days as a trainee lawyer, now over 40 years ago, that the question of being forbidden to lock one's car on the King's Highway was one of those curious anomalies that stick in the mind of a student. I now cannot for the life of me remember the details of the legislation, however.

The relevant acts concerning motor cars are:-

The Locomotives on Highways Act 1896
The Motor Car Act 1903
The Roads Act 1920,
The Road Traffic Act 1930.
The Road Traffic Act 1934

I am going to have to do some research.
