Re: Car lights
[QUOTE=Mollie;335652]Sadly, most of these are indeed male drivers whom, I believe, to be more arrogant than women drivers but, having said that, I've seen some daft females as well!QUOTE]
I think the same as you Mollie, the male drivers seem to be alot more arrogant and prepared to take risks. I also agree that there are some daft females as well, sometimes their stupidity seems to have more to do with being preoccupied eg.talking to the kids etc), than arrogance and bullying, but equally annoying and dangerous.
The other day I saw a van driver going round a very busy roundabout, trying to steer, change gear and signal, one handed while he was laughing on his mobile phone. Now that really bugs me.

Re: Car lights
Yeah, agree Julie, though never seen a woman "tail gaiting" on your back bumper like some blokes do. That is so dangerous, especially on motorways.
P.S. It's the women though, who are a nightmare parking outside my house to drop the kids off at school. I just think male and female drivers take different types of risks.

Re: Car lights
I HATE driving at twilight and after dark. Must be my age. I've been taking our dog Dora to training class on a Tuesday evening and been fine but now although it's still light going, it's darkish on the way home. Next Tuesday will be the last time I make the journey until next Summer. OH will be taking her instead.

..the highway code says ....You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet).Not just 'because' it's raining, it depends on visibility.

You are not alone there Angieh, my eyes are not good at night driving these days and I don't go out after dark unless its really necessary.
It's back to the earlier headlight discussion bit again, the dazzling lights get to me, and I'm sure it's a conspiracy that all the cars with badly misaligned headlights come out when I'm out.

Re: Car lights
I use bright white globes in my car,they are the brightest legal light you can use in Australia,according to the auto electrician who fitted them in Sydney NSW before i drove to Perth WA,they are not the Blue Tinge globes,just a pure white light,no "pun" intended but they are "brilliant"! lol.As for blinkers you cant see in the daytime,well that is a nightmare,same as the ones that flash at 100 mph?
I like the LED lights now,at least the light does not seem to glare as bad as a globe.
