Anyone driving with their front fog lights on when its not foggy. I think these are split into two groups, those who are too stupid to realise they have front fog lights on (and wondered what that oddly coloured dashboard light meant) and those who think their car looks cooler/tougher with them on.
Why does it annoy you? It's no different to DRL's/Ovlovs with their dipped lights on, I'd be interested to hear if anyone has genuinely been dazzled by a front fog light. Rears are a different story, I've been genuinely startled by them multiple times.
I am regularly and genuinely dazzled by some front fog lamps. DRLs are quite different. Although they can be excessively bright at night, presumably when their owners think they don't need to put lights on.

OK as it's volume 2 can we issue a 'bindun' ban on anything headlamp/foglight or lane discipline related?

The driver of the black pickup that was on its side today in Beddington lane.

How TF did you turn it over there and demolish a small wall ?

You must have turned the corner WAY too fast for your driving talent and/or the type

of vehicle you were in.confused

People who write the same sort of post in every thread about fog lights DRLS headlights sidelights dash lights.

Not mine, you won't, they're completely useless as far as I can tell.

The woman driving her Toyota Aygo that attempted to drive into the carpark of the Homebase store at The Meadows this afternoon.

Only reason being that the store has been closed for a good few weeks now & is very noticeably in the process of demolition, highlighted by the fact it even has a massive black wooden perimeter fence & metal gates indicating the store is well & truly closed laugh

This however didn't deter her attempting to drive through the metal entrance gate, and then, after being challenged by a worker, reversing back into traffic once she realised the error of her ways, narrowly avoiding causing a multi-car pile up.

Bloke in the white Transit who pulled out onto the Haslingden Road End roundabout, cutting up a Mondeo and then stalling.

People double parking down the main high street in town. Lazy arsed feckers who couldnt give a st about anybody else and then moan like fkery when they get ticketed. Dicks.

Think I might have seen him round these parts too. There's a few near the cab place in Wallington who seem to make it a point of pride of driving off without their lights on in the middle of the night too.

people who think they own a forum or thread, and believe their word is gospel/law

People who think a quick flash of their hazards is an acceptable way of saying sorry after nearly running you off the road when they cut you up

Would sir prefer a handwritten grovelling apology on the finest parchment paper? wink

I'd be glad you got an apology. Shows a little contrition. So many people just ignore you or worse still give you the finger/wker sign for daring to complain. Of course some double hard bastaerrd types will stop the car and try and fight you. rolleyes

Joining M25 after coming down from Suffolk the visability was very poor with heavy spray. Enter stage right, grey BMW with no lights on. Despite there being 2 lanes to exit roundabout, said BMW moves into lane one and forces HGV to brake hard to avoid. Now amongst the slower traffic the BMW is forced to join M25 at lower speeds till eventually passes by in lane three at an easy 100+ mph. No lights still and no indicators as changes lanes at will.

YC07 CJR (I think?) you are a knob who'll kill yourself and/or others with driving like that.

The nob-edd in the V-plate corsa driving through Rambottom tonight.

You're lucky my nob-edd detector was working when you overtook me, otherwise chances are you would have the word DENNIS imprinted on your Neanderthal visage.
