Produktbeschreibung

"In the case of an accident, or of any kind of clash with the police, silence was never more golden. " "Most of the tight-fitting hats of today are quite suitable for motoring, but there is one little point to guard against, and that is too tight a fitting. It is bad for the hair, makes it greasy, and quickly removes the cherished wave, and if worn for long hours at the wheel causes bad headaches. " "Courteous driving rests largely upon the ability to see the other fellow s point of view. How would you like to have a klaxon blown in your ear; would you appreciate having your best Sunday clothes splashed with mud; would you like to have to push a pram across the tram lines at the double to avoid apparent annihilation of the whole family? " This guide for the woman motorist, first published in 1928, is filled with advice on the art of driving and maintaining one s car, as well as tips on such crucial topics as what to wear when driving, how to prepare for a picnic stop, and how to cope with erratic drivers in mainland Europe."
