Car lights...

Loads in Kent too.
My bugbear, though it is a little less these days, are the constant use of FOG lights when the night is so clear you can see the stars!

I have a basic model Fiat Punto which has only one reversing light ( as I discovered when I told the garage that only one was working!). Apparently by law you only need one and it is quite common not to have two.

Very few drivers in Norfolk realise that the little stick by the steering wheel turns on the indicators so other road users know where they are going - I’ve even followed police cars that don’t use them!

Yes, we have them here in the North West. My friend and I keep commenting on the one eyed cars. Police could make a fortune giving them tickets.

I would go to Halfords for advice first, they are very helpful and not expensive. Hopefully your problem can be solved easily. Good luck.

Lots in Norfolk too. We need traffic police.

I'm very grateful if someone points out when my lights are out. I just don't see a difference!
My OTHER bugbear is cyclists with what look like 1000W headlights. Completely dazzling - and it makes them much less visible than decent ordinary bulbs, because you're forced to look away.
Maybe the common factor here is ageing eyesight.

During a five mile journey on Monday evening I saw three cars with only one headlight. We should all check our own once a month I suppose. It's no good expecting the police to advise us, as there's not enough officers to attend break-ins, stolen cars etc!

What they can pull people over for and what they choose to pull people over for are two different things. It depends on how busy they are, how short staffed and perhaps even occasionally how lazy. Or sometimes maybe they're just being kind and tolerant, who knows. Anyway my point is they're left quite a lot of discretion within the law.

The road back from the gym is unlit but has a pavement that is also a designated cycle path; my big dread whilst driving home is not seeing a bicycle on the road because sometimes people don't use the cycle path.

Oh, JackyB, you are so right about unlit cycles, and I’d add, often these same cyclists don’t wear any light reflective clothing. Why? If I was a cyclist, I would want to be highly visible, not invisible!!

You would think, wouldn’t you, that with today’s technology there would be a bleep and a highlighted light icon to tell you which light is out. ( I suppose in the really expensive cars this already exists, but what about the rest of us with ordinary cars)?! ?

Same in Scotland. Also, lights that are not balanced properly so one of them dazzles you even when dipped.

Even here in Germany things aren't perfect. I see lots of one-eyed cars. It's worrying when they pass you and you realise you could have taken them for a motor cycle.

And don't get me started on unlit cycles.

And South Devon!

Loads of them in North Devon too!

I make a habit of pointing out to people when they have a faulty bulb when possible. It is surprising how rude they can be, with no thank you and often a grumpy irresponsible 'I know'! I would be very grateful if somebody told me mine had 'gone'.

I think people don't realise they need to check that their lights are working so don't always notice when one stops. Lights are a nightmare for me atm. Not the headlights but the reverse lights. We noticed we only had one so we changed the bulb but then we had no reverse lights. Then we changed the fuse and yippee we had two reverse lights. Now the reverse lights seem to work or not work at random. We think it may be the switch so that's the next job. If it's not that then it's an auto electrician job with the painful cost that entails.
