    Many new cars are being built with LED automatic daytime driving lights fitted. They are quite effective too. Hehe, them poor Germans!

      I thinks it's a European law, all cars built since 2012 have day time running lights. And don't some look awful.................

          I tooted a car full of lads who nearly took my bonnet off on a roundabout,exiting from the wrong lane. They pulled infront of me (and SWMBO) slowing down,speeding up and gesticulating. I ignored them but asked SWMBO to note the registration. They then shot off up a bus lane and,I though,disappeared. Not so. About half a mile up the road a lad emerged from a side road and threw a mobile phone at ny car before getting back in the car that had caused all the trouble and zooming off. I picked up the remains of the phone and took it to a local Police station and explained what had happened,showing the dent in my door and giving them the offender's car registration and mobile remains,including SIM card.

          About two days later the Police rang me to ask if I would be prepared,if required,to give evidence in a criminal damage case aginst the individual.

          It was his own car and he had thrown and destroyed his own phone,traced from the SIM card.

          How stupid can you be!!!!

          I didn't have to give evidence because the little sh*t pleaded guilty.

          Cheers

              I drive a 7 1/2 ton (sometimes 17 ton) lorry for a living , delivering stuff to people, and ive got to agree with ray (delmonteman ) - half cant see you and the other half seem determined to crash into you!! The number of times people have pulled out in front of this big green lorry ,complete with headlights on, as if its not there is unbelievable!! Trouble is ,working for a leading retailer with a suitably emblazoned lorry means i just have to ignore the idiots and bite my tongue ,we cant be seen arguing with members of the public , although its never silent in the cab!!! hope they dont ever fit voice recorders in there , i'd be sacked after about 5 mins!! cheers tony

                I don't know Colin. I was just told that I wouldn't be needed because he had pleaded guilty to that and some other unspecified offences.

                  it's happened again today ! I was exiting a carpark in newton abbot and because its a tight turn you have to partly go over the centre line , anyway half way through my turn a woman in in micra pulled in but did she stop to let by seeing as I had right of way ? oh no she just came straight at me and never flinched, I stopped and she carried on and must have missed my front drivers wing by an inch I thought she was definatly going to hit me she was that close.

                  I don't do this women are worse drivers than men I think there are good and bad no matter what sex you are but just lately ive had more near misses when women are involved than I have with men, maybe this theory about women being better drivers has the fairer sex thinking because they are women they are fantastic drivers and can drive how they wish.
