If thats your truck your using as your avatar then you could probably manage with one light out :grin:

JumboBeef:
Two days ago, during the day, it was raining, grey and windy.  Everyone had their dipped lights on, as they should.  Except for one plank.  He only had his parking  (I refuse to call them side) lights on, and only the nearside one was working at the front.

It was a marked police car!

MuddyMike:
I believe its a factor of modern cars needing virtually no routine maintainance checks and extended service periods. 
With older cars folk got into the habit of checking things regularly and picked up on dead bulbs etc. Even the old 3000 mile oil changes led to most vehicles being in for service regularly at which time the garage would check lights etc  it led to a little extra income for them when they found a deal bulb.

Modern cars with 20,000 mile service intervals that don't burn oil just never get checked in between services.

Must go check my lights :-)

And they tend to be modern cars that haven't yet had an MOT, so they are driving around blinding people for 3 years  :evil:

There's a guy locally who delivers newspapers around the villages and rural houses. I stopped him one morning about 3 weeks ago and told him one of his brake lights wasn't working. Saw him the other morning and it still isn't working. Some people obviously don't care.
