A short piece of film about British motorists being unaccustomed to Motorway driving, 1959 onwards.
A Standerwick Leyland Atlantean double-deck coach is in the starting sequence. The intended A6(M) that actually got numbered M6, at just over 8 miles road length near Preston was the actual first motorway opened in the UK in 1958.
