]Why do some ejits stupidly insist on driving around at dawn or dusk in fog or rain etc with only their side lights on!!!

Is it saving them money on their electric bill!!

Some of these cars are maybe silver or some other colour hard to see at these times of day.

I will cause a very major accident.

Side lights should be discontinued and the use of main beam or dipped headlights used only

Take the choice away from these people who are driving "without care or attention"[/b]

Probably the same reason why people don't use their directionals (turn signals).

I've always felt they should be options on cars.

Yeah....and the lazy bastards who scrape a couple of peepholes in their frozen windscreens...then its off to school with the kids in the back......

Same problem here with tossers who don't use their indicators, especially at roundabouts, and then have the f***ing audacity to honk their horns when you pull out in front of them. Best thing to do, I find, is to stop in the middle of the island and go and 'inform them of their error', which I have done many times now, including twice to policemen in patrol cars.

Yeah......asked some tosser in a beemer the other day if indicators were an "optional extra" on his 5 series....didn't get it..."stoney ground".....one day.....

Should have walked up to the car, tapped the lense and then shouted to the driver,"Now try it!".

I had an M3 not so long ago, but I got rid of it just before I was due to have my complimentary BMW driver lobotomy, and it wasn't really the sort of car a white man wants to drive around in South London village.

As a car driver and motorcyclist , I think sidelights should be banned on moving vehicles. It seems that the drivers seem to think they can be seen with sidlights that have less glow than a torch with flat batteries. We ought to follow Denmarks lead and have headlights on ALL the time

I think this is soon to be law anyway.

I know a motorcycle instructor who would disagree though claiming a motorbike with headlights on is all but invisible against the setting sun, or when travelling out of direct sunlight. I think this is why so many motorbikes are fitted with purple coloured lenses or bulbs to make them more distinct in this situation (and not 'cos they think it makes 'em look cool).

Headlights on all the time is standard in the states with MOST new cars since the late 90's early 2000. I do have a '99 that doesn't have that standard, but my '98 conversion van has headlights on all the time.

Those halogen lamps are extremely bright.
