I must admit I am not too bothered about this one.... providing that the fogs are set up and aligned correctly (90% arent as they aren't part of a MOT).

also - how many cars and vans do you see with only one head light on. sometimes it is really difficult to see how wide the vehicle is and which side is broken.

so bl**dy dangerous on dark murky nights ......

after-all it only costs a few quid to replace a bulb


Best bit is when they KNOW they have a light out, so their solution is to use main beam and blind everyone. Idiots. 2011 110 USW

Can't stand people who slow down for every oncoming vehicle.

Know what you are saying.

I have taken to ramming them, two so far a Volvo and an Audi. The bloke in the Audi asked what I was going to do about the damage, I said that the paint will polish off my bumper.

People parking so they take up two parking spaces in busy car parks so no one will park next to them and open their doors into their precious car!

In my old battered 90 I'd always try squeeze in the tiny gap and climb out of the back door. Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

Or, what Censored me off the most (round my area). Approaching traffic lights at a crossroads heading into Burnley (CLICK FOR GOOGLE STREETVIEW ) you can see the right hand lane is right turn only. But you always get knobheads who decide that they'll use that lane to fly past traffic and go straight on at the traffic lights, straight into traffic wanting to turn right coming from the other direction. Annoyingly people always tend to let them pull back into the left lane at the front. If I see them coming flying down the right hand lane I'll boot it so they can't get infront of me. Or if I'm coming from the other direction wanting to turn right and I see someone come flying down I'll just aim for them, blocking them and forcing them to stop and wait. Always get thumbs up from the other drivers when I do that too. Nice!

THIS is how to deal with middle lane hoggers / numpties who slow down every time a car approaches from the other direction.

Well that killed that thread Rolling with laughter

The workings of a womens mind always has me in grump!



You can either ask us to do something or just tell us how you want it done - not both.
If you already know best how to do it - just do it yourself!

If you think you are fat you probably are - don't ask us!

If you ask a question you don't want to hear the answer to, don't expect an answer you don't want to hear!

And don't talk to me about toilet seats :lol:
