How did people drive to other places before then?

Using roads that arent motorways :confused:

Another useful and interesting thread from the OP. Thanks!

On different roads? I’d imagine it took longer.

So just normal roads? Like a/b roads?
Or just tarmac?

The motorway is like the vains in your body, it's hard to see it (Society) working without them.

There were much, much fewer cars at that time.

Well it might not work now without them but you have to remember there were far fewer cars on the road back then...

No it's not. If motorways didn't exist, people wouldn't commute as far to work.

Ever tried driving somewhere a little rural? There are places in England miles and miles from motorways and they manage just fine!

Use your head.

Why do you all want me to go away? I was just asking a question I'm sorry i'm not part of the elitist super ocuk hardcore cru like you people obviously are word innit homie yo'

Everytime I ask a question or even post a thread you all think i'm trolling and call to ban me. It's wearing thin but if it amuses your not going to stop i suppose.
