Leaning over when cornering

Just followed behind a lady driver who moved her head in the direction she was turning quiet markedly.
I'm pretty sure I don't :-? Does anyone else?

Was she wearing big heavy earrings perhaps?

I followed a Reliant Robin the other day down a long steep winding hill near work. The driver was brilliant - he was almost in the passenger side going round left handers - I was struggling to keep up in the Minor van! Looked a large chap in a leather jacket so probably a biker who knows how to corner, but it was an impressive bit of driving :)

Shows what a load of nonsense TG is at times when you see an expertly driven Robin. Popular entertainment wins over factual feature. Wouldn't mind having one myself just fill a gap in my motoring experience...

I've seen him around, too... the speed at which he takes the Powick roundabout from Malvern to Worcester is quite phenomenal! :lol:
