Why did my carstart tramlining?

[roadvoyager1]

Anybody got an idea why I suffered tramlining when driving along the Sheffield ring road?

In fact, despite driving along the rails the car showed no sign of the tramlining associated with some of our cars.

Are you allowed to pick up people if you are on the tracks?? JIM

There is a latent train driver in all of us, but most prefer steam on railway lines @roadvoyager1.

Now that's an idea! Unfortunately, you get diverted from the tracks as they go into the stations.

Remember a mate of mine getting stuck in tram-lines on a motor-bike out in Germany years ago. Shame about the tram coming the other way.

My father-in-law used to tell us the tales of riding his bike into Coventry, during the second world war, to go on fire watch duty (during the day he worked in a foundry which was a protected occupation) . Getting the bike wheel stuck in the tram lines was, it seems, a common occurrence. The riders generally fell off before being hit by a tram. Like many cities the tram lines were ripped out in the sixties.
