These darned 50 m.p.h. open-road limits
#1
50 m.p.h. Enough to force the number plate and rear-view mirror horizontal - and bend the windscreen supports back.

Well, at least his cap remained firmly attached, mine would have disappeared over the hedge!

Must have been fast - the door handle has been blown aft of the door!

Tony, The majority if not all of your drawings and postcards show male drivers. I was going to say it shows an age before feminism but then I remember suffragettes.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.

I had to Photoshop the doors to make them A7 forward-hinged. I wondered if anyone would spot the "unintended mistake" Well done!

Thanks Tony, Many feminist women will be rejoicing. I know I can be a bit thick (actually a lot thick) sometimes but why the increase in speed to 60mph on the sign.
On another thing after seeing your photos and drawings I think we need to re think the question that the camera doesn’t lie.

There are a few 60 limit signs - but not common, I'll admit. Anyway, the speed goes up - and the woman insists on control!
As we all now know, there's a myriad of tricks when manipulating photographs using Photoshop - and it can, on many occasions, be just impossible to know if what you are looking at is "true" or not. Fortunately, there are often little clues left due to careless work, but you have to look very closely to find them. While the latest versions of the program have shortcuts that are tempting to use, many of them do not work as well as patient, detailed control by hand and these flaws can often provide little clues as to what's been done.

A 60 mph sign is a rarity, in fact I cannot recall seeing one. It is assumed that the driver should know the national speed limit which is 60mph unless otherwise indicated.

I assumed it was a dual carriageway, where a 60 sign is more logical.
