Look Behind You
There used to be a time when, if you were driving on a motorway or dual carriageway, you looked in your rear view mirror and you would see, approaching rapidly, very rapidly, a Bedford Astramax van. You would be safe to make at least one of the following assumptions about this van.
- It would be white.
- It would be dirty.
- Someone would have written, with cutting and incisive wit, in the dirt on the back of the van with their finger "also available in white", "clean me" or possibly "I wish my Missus was as dirty as this van".
- It would have its headlights on whatever the hour of the day or night.
- It would be trying to overtake you, regardless of the car you were driving and what speed you were currently doing.
