My pet hate again to do with car headlights. Still seeing loads of cars and vans etc with only one headlight working but there seems to be another even more dangerous trend with some idiots now. The other day I was on the M275 coming back to Southampton and it was getting pretty dark at about 4.20pm and there was a bloke driving his car with no lights on at all!!! Every other vehicle had their lights on and this car was almost invisible!! It was a fairly new car so I doubt if the lights had packed up. I got behind him and flashed my lights quite a few times just in case he had forgotten to switch them on but it made no difference and he continued for another 10 minutes before he finally switched them on! There are no Motorway lights on this section so what he was playing at only he knows.
I do see it quite often cars not switching their lights on until its almost dark. Do they think they are somehow saving the battery or do they think its clever to do it? Dickheads in my opinion and dangerous as well
