Stoney871 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Bleh, I couldn't give a crap if people take offence to driving around on fog lights if honest; sorry but they make no difference in fog, and also they don't dazzle... it's not like they point up directly at eye hight, and to be honest swapped out with LED's there's no issue anyway. Except that It's illegal in the UK. Even if you swap the fog light bulbs for LED Bulbs it makes no difference. If you have to turn them on with the fog light switch then they're still classed as fog lights. I do pull cars for it and will issue a fixed penalty if I feel it is warranted.

Not really disputing that, just kinda saying why do people get so worked up over it, it doesn't really have an effect on them. I mean some cars have them come on automatically when cornering, same light and such, so why is it people have to get so worked up :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Afraid I don't make the laws. That's up to the EU and the DOT. I just enforce it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sliveredge Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Cars that have the fog light on when they are turning corners. What is the point?? What is it meant to light up?? why do car manufactures feel that we need this. Glad ford have not jumped on the band wagon. And roundabouts why can people not indicate or get in the right lands its not hard to understand 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 I hate when you see people (mostly young women) crossing the road with a buggy and jist pushing the buggy half into the road before thinking to look to see if theres a car coming. Seen a car infront of me today physically have to swerve out of the way of this stupid woman doing that today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnis Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 One of my biggest pet peeves is when there's slow traffic in the left lanes on the m'way, so you can be in the right hand lane at 70 without a problem. Then you get one idiot coming up behind you, flashing his lights and honking his horn because I'm not willing to do 100+mph, even though I've got as much of a right to be in that lane as I'm overtaking. Then as soon as I complete my overtake and move back in (unless they undertake me as soon as they're a millimetre past the car behind) they fly past, brake heavily to avoid the next car and the whole cycle repeats. I also don't like people who you let out only to not say thank you, or those people who think that sticking their hand out of the window means that they're allowed to cut anyone up. Also people who play their music so loud that you can hear it over your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao, I had one of these yesterday while i was on the bike going round an oval shaped roundabout - I think he/she was about to try and race me until they realised that i was almost horizontal and going much faster than them. I was within the speed limit too just before anyone questions that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hubby1959 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I have a number of pet peeves dependant on where I am and what i'm driving, middle lane huggers doing 45-50mph on the motorway, don't they know that anything over 7.5 tonne isn't allowed in the fast lane, private hire taxi's, they think they own the road and most of the car parks at the local supermarkets, cashpoint cripples, those idiots that think it's ok to leave their car in the disabled spots while they go to the cash point, cyclists with no road sense, other drivers with no lane discipline, white van driver who has no idea that that little stalk beside the steering wheel puts the flashing yellow lights on, that are standard equipment on all vehicles. But my biggest peeve, the mobile phone user, those individuals that are so stupid to think they won't get caught eventually, when for £15-20 they can get a bluetooth headset and at least be somewhat legal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Ive got to be honest it annoys me when I see people driving round with earphones in. What happens if someone presses a horn to warn them ie because they're reversing too close to your car and they're going to hit you and you press your horn and cause they've got their ear phones in they dont hear you and boomf insurance claim! Lol and people that double park on busy streets! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 And people that park on the opposite side of the road to a Line of parked cars so that you have to slow right down to squeeze through! What happens if a fire engine comes and needs to get through! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
