As a follow-up to a slightly controversial thread concerning speed of travel which I started a couple of months ago, you might want to look at the download on this page:

It's an advisory code of practise for owners of classic cars to follow. There's nothing there that we will not all be doing correctly already.

It's an interesting read, and covers most things pretty well, thanks for posting it.

For some reason I cannot open the link? It allows me to access the page but it stays completely blank.

I wholly agree that responsible driving of our classic is key.

The page loads for me, after a few seconds of initial downloading. All there is on the above link is an intro to the guide. At the foot of the page is a link to a PDF document of the guide in English, obviously you'll need to have Adobe Reader or similar installed to view this pdf document:

OK now and its all common sense which whilst most classic car owners may possess the general public is not so well endowed so even more care is required

- A robust jack, wheel wrench, and most common other wren-
ches and tools
- Safety hammer (also called a ‘life hammer’)
- Fire extinguisher
- Powerful flashlight

Yup, all except the safety hammer. As said earlier, common sense.
