Years ago I taught people about the "2 inch rule" That is, " "when in built up areas or whenever we are doing less than 20mph the 2" inch rule" must be observed" Doors are always Locked and never have your windows open more than 2 inches. This is especially so when talking to strangers or even the Police.
I am minded to tell you after reading a story about two motorhomers robbed recently at a motorway aire in Spain. They stopped for a cup of tea and a car pulled up, a well dressed official looking guy showed a police pass and they subsequently let the guy in the motorhome who then shouted at them in a foreign language as he tried to rob them. This story had a happy ending, I don't thnk they lost much but their holiday was ruined and it was a stressfull experience.
If you wind your window right down you are much easier to intimidate or be threatened. I know its only a bit of glass but when it is up its an effective barrier, and sends a clear message that you are security aware and is a subconcious reminder to you to be switched on. NEVER SPEAK TO A STRANGER OR A POLICE OFFICER WITH YOUR WINDOW LOWER THAN TWO INCHES.
Remember the "2 Inch Rule"
Sat in an aire in sunny France or Spain (or anywhere for that matter) enjoying a cup of tea with your windows wound fully down is not to be reccomended, a car can pull along side, and in a moment, you are intimidated with a bloody great ugly head in your face. lets be careful out there. The 2 inch rule, its cool:thumb:
