Grate expectations

I was driving along a fairly new all-purpose road that runs parallel to the motorway, in the dark, no streetlights and some way from habitation. It was my misfortune to drive over a road drain that in...

One good turn

Agreeing with you about right turning cars getting out of the way of traffic behind them, if they possibly can, a more important point about staying parallel, is also to keep the front wheels parallel...
