    Maybe it's an 'out in the country' thing, but the problem I have is with folks not putting any lights on in poor daytime weather eg heavy rain or mist causing poor visibility, but as it isn't usual lighting up time, they don't bother.

    Don't get me started about that.:mad:

    I have a long commute every day in all weathers and the number of people I see without lights is unbelievable; the idiots must assume that because they can see you, you can see them.

    LIGHTS ARE TO BE SEEN, NOT JUST TO SEE!!!


    Whoo! I feel better now.

    The number of people who run red lights these days is appalling, I don't recall it being so bad as it is now.

    And don't start me on people blocking junctions, whether there's a yellow box or not. If there's not enough space in front of you to clear the junction, then don't drive forward and block it! :mad:

    Most motorists consider the motoring laws to be nothing beyond an exercise in blocking their freedom. Unfortunately they are just too darned stupid to realise that they are there for their own good.
    2 + 2 = 4
    except for the general public when it can mean whatever they want it to.
