just that - except the distance required was 12" or less - when she went for her Heavy Rigid at age 25 (for a school coach) in the 1970s... The

The tester didn't believe
women should be entrusted with a 44 passenger coach & the lives of students on board! I think he wanted her to drive along the highways behind a man waving a red flag.

Back to the tree near the park spot....., some years ago when I had a bus, I could not drive up my street without being forced to the middle of the carriageway because of tree branches. All it took was a call to the council regarding the profile of the trees and they were trimmed the next day. First time I actually thought that councils had value! I gave them a 'well done'. BobK

You are going to be in real trouble now for mentioning SWMBO has a tail, and what makes you think they can be swapped anyway?
