Drove my wife to her friend's place last night, in a poorly-lit housing estate.
Driving along the road in the other direction was a plonker with no lights on, obviously using a mobile phone. I flashed my lights to warn him about
his lack of lighting, and got 2 fingers in return!
Never a policeman around when you need one...
David
Driving along last night minding my own buisness chatting on the phone as you do,,, then some bloke starts flashing his lights at me.... soon gave him
the unversal sign of welcome......

As the Japanese would say... "Pirrock!"
David

...but then he would have given me the 2 fingers before I flashed!

I live next to a junction and noticed a drop in the number of people on the phone after the new law came in but it's creeping back up now. There
are a lot of young lady drivers who seem to be the main culprits.

What amazes me is that when I was a newish driver ("when I were a lad..." to the tune of Dvorak's New World Symphony) if I tried
driving around with faulty lights there was a huge risk of being pulled over by the law within 10 miles or so. I mentioned this to my kids, and they
said almost the same thing, but only up until maybe 5 years ago.
Now, when I drive along unlit country lanes at 6:30 in the morning, I am amazed by the number of cars with a headlight gone. There's one car
I've seen several times in the last couple of weeks who drives around with full headlights on, 'cos when he dips he's only got 1 front
sidelight - on the nearside.
And don't mention the plonkers who drive around with their front fogs on, so everyone coming the other way gets their full benefit reflected up
from the wet roads.

The foglight thing is a £60/3points offence, you'd think the coppers would see it as easy money!
Personally I'd give the police a toffee hammer with which to smash the stupid knobheads foglights, and give them a lecture not to get them fixed
until they know how to use them.
Then I'd hit them round the head with a baseball bat.........with nails in it.
It's a "baseball cap" thing

that foglight thing annoys me so much that i've considered following people home and snipping the wires later on. really cant stand the morons
who think they're in a good car and as such, have to put the fogs on.
best time was in my omega, taxi man behind had his fogs on so i put my rears on, and drove with the brakes on slightly bang on 30 to wee him off.
must've looked like a christmas tree with so many lights on the back! when he stuck full beam on i just wound up the leccy blind!

I find the bemmer drivers around here like to show off their angle eye's by driving with only the sidelamps on and their fogs. Muppets
Have taken to dishing back some foglight action when I come across these idiots. They soon switch them off when a set of high power 4x4 lamps zap
em!
wankers
***PARENTAL ADVISORY***
This isn't legal, but someone I know drives a landrover with a roof rack on which has four strobes carefully aimed exactly where your eyes used
to be before you dazzled him with your spots!!!
I ....erm...know somebody ..who helped him aim them in a scientific experiment.
I usually give them a face full of main beam, if as David says, it's not going to upset anyone else.
Everybody I know hates this, so who is it thats driving about with their fog lights on?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

i have a beemer and havnt done that
got less than 2 months to try it
I thought I was the only one to get wound up about fog lights, obviously not.
Down the pub the other night I said "I'd like to carry a brick with me that I could toss out in front of them."
Somebody said,
"Wouldn't that seriously damage the car?"
"Of cause not, I'd open my window first"
I have to agree with you all, the fog lights are annoying. The other day I was going up this nicely lit road and around the corner come 3 cars with fog lights, a Punto, a Corsa and another Corsa. Had to slow down because I couldn't see the road ahead.
