Sometime in the past few weeks, I was walking with a friend when we spotted a very funny looking car. We both immediately knew what it was and as the car drove closer by, our suspicions were confirmed: it was a Google Streetview car outside London. Feeling naughty, I shouted at the car as it drove by something along the lines of “there are privacy laws” and to my surprise an old man across the streed did the same! It was very funny how both of us knew what a Streetview car looked like!
Then it hit me: the road we were on that the car was driving into was a dead end road. Picture time! So I dropped my stuff and asked my friend to watch them while I set up my phone and found a good spot to take some photos as the car drove back out again. So I watched as the car reached the end, did a U-turn and drove back out again. However, as it got close to me, the car pulled up into an empty parking spot and the driver came out. He shouted at me saying “I know you want to take pictures but I don’t want to be in them.” I obliged.
While taking the photos, I talked to the driver a little bit. Here are some details from the notes I scribbled afterwards:
