A simple STV 8 news story from 1970 when a car rolled backwards across the road from Smiths Laundry, knocking down a petrol bowser at Briants service station. As you’ll hear from Garry Briant, it wasn’t the first time it had happened and they took it all in their stride! Those of you with sharp eyes might notice that the ute has government plates on it and that the price of petrol per litre is 47c for super and 44c for standard.
