:evil:  :evil:  :evil: I've had enough i've come the end of my tether honestly I cant stand no more!!!if another PRAT drives behind me or towards me with all their "bling" "bling" spot lights, fog lights,side lights and any other xeon, neon or any variation on a theme.As soon as nights draw in or the whiff of autumnal weather THEY are at it.What is wrong with these people,why on perfectly light urban roads( like milton keynes are)do they drive with all auxillary lights on?And sorry for the generalisation,but why do they all drive german saloons or french boxes.I wouldnt mind but if i drove with all of nelly's lights on id be leaving" hirroshima shadows" in my wake! but no id be  a bully wagon!!!!

What I hate is when they flash their lights, to say thanks for leting them through or to tell me to come throgh the gap. :evil:  this is really stupid at night when they blind you with lights.

Cant wait to fit my roof light bar and wire it up to the main beam. :twisted:

Its the same around here.
Kepp wanting to give them a good blast of the spots but why sink to there level?
Its either that or numpties driving 2 feet behind you with lights on
Wonder what the effect on them would be if you brake suddenly compaired to damage to the rear of a 90?
I think I know who will come off worse

Drove back at about 10-30 ish on the A1 last week through road works, down to one lane. VW golf behing me looked like he had main beams on all the way through. I was lit up like a XMAS tree.
Shamed to admit took revenge, let him past when I could and gave him 30 sec blast of the spots when he past :oops:

Personally I find it annoying, but what I do consider dangerous is the number of people that insist on driving around with the rear fog light on.

Since the fashion amongst the sotonittes appears to be for a single working brake light then in the presence of the rear fog light on the only warning you get that they are slowing down is the fact that they appear to be getting bigger.

I think you will find that the kind of people with rear fog lights on are the dip sticks who have the fronts on as well and the car can only have BOTH on or off !!
Either that or is a woman driver and didnt know that she had the fogs on.
In fact on some cases women dont know where / what / a fog light switch does. !

I tend to find it much more common in males, to be honest. The amount of idiots I see at the end of the week who, either because they don't know how to switch the fogs off or they want to look cool (even though I fail to see the coolness) is unbelievable.

I wonder whether people don't know that fog lights are illegal unless in cases of extremely reduced visibility, or they just couldn't care less.

I know fine well where my fog light switch is, and where it could be stuck if need be.  :(bigshock):  :wink:

It's not just me then! :shock:

I was starting to think I was turning into a grumpy old fart! :lol:

I'm sure some people turn their fogs on when they buy the car and then leave 'um on forever. :evil:

I have to say I've never been tail gated in the Jeep, maybe it's the eye level tow hitch that put's them off.

The four 120W Daylighters come in useful sometimes though. :D  :D
