Lights !

<< < (4/5) > >>

Cate:
Round here it is the fashion (especially amongst the older generation) to not use indicators at all, after all... they know where they are going don't they.
Brake lights are used at every possible moment, eg, on seeing a double decker bus heading towards you from 400yds away, apply brakes, slow down rapidly, bounce erratically between the verge and the centre line whilst trying to work out just how wide your Clio is (must be 9ft at least) as the bus passes veer to the verge and slam on brakes..... this makes an interesting sound of tyre screeches and swerves as all the other traffic that has now backed up behind (that would have got through that 10ft gap between verge and bus) suddenly realises that codger in front can't actually see over the steering wheel!
Don't even get me started on the motorbikes (only some) that sit just behind and to the right shining their lights in my side mirror! Grrrrr.

Oh, Merry Seasons Greetings to you all.

Lost count of the cars with no lights this morning-a foggy orrible day! Incuding a police car on the M54 idiots!!!

Evilgoat:
Foggy Nasty morning and Hey, LOAD of cars with NO lights.

That said, having put the Bullbars on at last my spots are now at eyeball height. Everyone who came at me on full bean last night dipped their lights pretty dammed quickly, well its that or I was quite happy to weld their eyeballs into the sockets.

Same though, chavs aplently no-one seems to check lights etc. What really annoyies me is when I see it on one of the Audis that I know full well is beeping and buzzing like mad to tell the occupant a light is out.

Looking for a chav-corsa to try the bullbars out on now, see if I cant avoid painting them.  :twisted:

Why does it appear to be that it is quite often these Subaru Imprezas, at least in my area, that always must be racing about?

For example yesterday out in the Series there was an Impreza right up the back of the Land Rover for a fair amount of time.  The driver clearly wanted to get past, but there was nowhere for him to do that.

He tried to get past me on a section of road where two lanes go into one, and there was a truck turning right on the right lane, and was stationary.  Fortunately for his own sake, the Impreza driver realised that the truck was stationary and pulled in behind the Land Rover again.

Then upon just a short distance after I had passed the truck, there is a steep curved bridge.  The Impreza shot past me on this climb on the bridge.  Complete idiot, considering that I can't see what traffic may be coming the other way and as a result he sure can't either.  What's worse is that there is a truck depot on the right just after the bridge, and the trucks often pull out onto the side that he was overtaking me on. :shock:

Hmm, perhaps it's a shame there wasn't one pulling out otherwise Darwin's natural selection would of been at work for once.

But the best part is that the driver then got held up by traffic infront, and even though he raced on ahead... I always came bumbling along in my thirty six year old Land Rover, stopping right up the back of his Impreza as he sat there waiting for the traffic lights to turn green.  :D This went on for several sets of traffic lights as well.  :lol:

Who needs performance when you're in a town's road network anyway?  :P

Yoshi:
But our resident chav vehicle driver (M19ROO) has piped in yet  :wink:
