Its like i need sunglasses at night now..so many people with xenons or HID bulbs put in their headlights (sometimes as an aftermarket thing sometimes illegal ones) and also they forget about adjusting the level setting. so everytime now its like blinding blue white lights. They used to be just on 4x4 cos they sit up high that even on dipped beams they are quite high.
Now i got xenons on my car and did get some ppl flash me to start with until i too noticed i should adjust the height of the lights, but it seems everyone has these bluey lights now on what seems like full beam...

pisses me off no end too

i did get flashed the other week for having my front fog lights on (i assume it was this, and not something else), when i was driving in the fog :S

the people who drive around with their foglights on constantly are also numpties. maybe somebody should tel them they can get an extra 3 horsepower out their car if they turn them off ;D


also last night i saw about 3 people (2 queued behind each other) who forgot to turn any of their lights on at nighttime, and several people with either broken lights or just sidelamps on :S

Because the high level brake light in particular is right in the face of the car behind - i.e. ME

What's classed as a middle lane hogger?

I'll sit in the middle lane, doing the speed limit, but if someone's up my arse then I'll shifty over

i think weaving in and out of the middle and left lane is more dangerous, plus there's emerging traffic to worry about in the left. I always make sure i have an escape route though.

Three lane motorways have one driving lane, and two overtaking lanes.
