Drivers and headlights

What annoys me the most is 90% of people who do not have their headlights on the correct weight setting for their car.

This means you get blinded by even standard headlights, if your car is empty, put your bloody lighting load to 0 not leave it at 3 so you blind everyone!!!!!

Could be wrong but at 3 with no load the lights would be lower? Zero is the highest setting, leaving the lights at zero with a load would blind other road users as the front of the car would tilt up due to the extra load on the back.

My biggest gripe must be if you are driving along past a row of parked vehicles on your left hand side, only to see a vehicle with its right turn indicator flashing, and if traffic permits you decide to give way to allow the other vehicle to pull out only to find out when you are closer that they have actually left their hazard lights on.
WHY leave hazards on if approaching vehicles are unable to completely see the rear of your vehicle...
Apart from bad and inconsiderate driving and those drivers that believe it is ok to swop lanes without giving all others around them a clue of their intentions.
We SHARE the roads, none of us OWN the public roads.

Having a car with 'difficult' headlights is no excuse.

This is something I always check before buying a car. If the headlights aren't easily replaced, the car is not bought. Simple as that.

If you do own such a car it is your responsibility to do the right thing and put your hand in your pocket, straight away, if a bulb fails.

If you don't, you can't use this as an excuse. You're an ignorant, lazy tosspot whichever way you look at it.

lol @ jase1's comment. I wouldn't have put it so strongly - but I agree that you just have to get it fixed as soon as you practically can (ie the next morning if it is night time and all the shops are closed).

Noticed over the past 12 months, that the local Barry Boys (you know the ones, bangin' toonz, phat zorsts, baseball hat & tracksuit, driving a 1.1 Corsa or similar). Drive with sidelights on, but use their front fogs as their headlights. They have been watching to many Van Diesel movies on their cheap and nasty rip-speed DVD players.

When I leave the services, I want a job in the scrappies. The one whose job it is to drop Barrys shed into the crusher - please god, please ......
