Could well be that this has already come across here, but as it can't be missed, I'll post it anyway.

An advanced driving instructor, commenting on his driving, on the road from London to Bath in 1963. Great footage!

Re motorway overtaking techniques, nice to see Jag drivers haven't changed in 40 years and nice to see the response hasn't changed either

This is the third time (at least) that this link has been posted. Weren't some of the 'incidents' staged?

Nice to see the days when making progress and overtaking were the norm.

Brilliant video, I recently found 15 years worth of IAM medals for the old man which covered this era and he was a very fast safe progressive driver. Unfortunalty using your horn and headlamps would be seen as aggresive on todays road so I use my right hand traficator and make sure I am lined up with the door mirrors to make the Audis and Bmers get in the correct lane!
