I once had to slow some old banger to a crawl when passing some badly-parked cars and a small crowd.I drove past a house the other day where there was a hearse with a coffin in parked outside, and lots of people standing around in black. I had a vague memory that cars slow down to show respect as they drive past, so I did so, feeling sorry for the family and sending good vibes their way. It was only after I thought they may have just thought I was being a busybody and slowing down to be nosy. I hope they didn't think that.
Didn't mind as I was enjoying the novelty of a working cassette player, treating myself to an ear-splitting rendition of Ray Parker Jnr's Ghostbusters and singing along happily.
As I drove slowly past a funeral party.
