Vauxhall: The Manners And The Papas

Dads are always the hardest to buy presents for. Do not fear. The perfect solution to your Father’s Day present woes comes in the form of a neat little book called ‘Thoroughly Modern Motoring Manners’ from Debrett’s and Astra.

Is your Dad a backseat driver? Does he complain about female drivers? Does he listen to an obscene array of music? If so, Thoroughly Modern Motoring Manners provides a humorous and pleasurable insight for all Dads this Father’s Day.

Excerpts from the book
Backseat drivers and female drivers

“A chivalrous passenger is as well-behaved and polite in the car as he is when he’s out and about. He realises that jokes about women drivers are clichéd and is never a backseat driver. He’s happy to sit back and enjoy the ride.”

On in car music

“Music should be carefully chosen and kept at a sociable volume and unless you are a karaoke-pro or trying to entertain the children, avoid singing along.”
