My Daf 33 shoots through width restrictions around my town which I crawl through in my Subaru. I am also of the opinion that driving standard are not what they used to be, but that's a whole new discussion.... Pavements are often wider these days, because pedestrians have got wider too.

Or is it because they now have cars parked all along both kerbs that you lose the perspective? Never mind that, I can't stand drivers who straddle the centre line of the street even when they've got plenty of room on their side. I'm pretty sure I once knocked off someone's door mirror as we passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than the Ferraris and such like that footballers now drive. This is a great thread, I am really enjoying the pictures from artdjones of Cardiff.

artdjones Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Bargoed Hill. At least 1 in 8, some of it at 1 in 4.25, and with two right angled bends. It feels strange to get a car up there, let alone a bus. RayMK, puddlethumper, JeeExEll and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of the properties on the right of the black and white picture have been demolished over the years, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
