Slowing down for a hearse?

[WrendaleCountryDogs]

Growing up, my mum always slowed down when driving and a hearse was coming the opposite direction. As a result, I do the same.
Do you?? I've never seena nobody else do it.

You'll be pleased to know this thread made the BBC Radio 2 Jeremy Vine show today.

Hello radio researchers and journalists watching!

I came out of work at lunch to drive down to a funeral and this was on the radio!

Made for an even more emotional drive to the church.

Just gone and listened to this. Very bizarre comments from Jeremy about the woman who failed her driving test for not making due progress when she chose not to overtake a hearse on a dual carriageway. He told her she was right to have not overtaken and he would have raised an objection. As if that's an objection that would have gone anywhere! Of course she failed, she was going, by her own admission at around 20mph on a dual carriageway.

And the funeral director praising motorcyclists for blocking entrances to roundabouts to allow hearses and following cars to continue unimpeded. Totally dangerous and just praised as something to emulate. Weird.

I slow down appropriately if driving and stop and bow my head if im walking.

My children (now teens and twenties) do the same.
