Christ on a bike how old are you? Seriously, read your last half dozen posts in here and ask yourself if they come across as being written by an intelligent level headed adult or not?

I have never claimed to be that.

Nope, I have 20:20 vision.

You however, will always remain a mongoloid.

Are you a car-light vampire then or something, because there is nothing dazzling about brake lights, fog lights, and so on

So you wont mind if I put my lights on Full Beam when I'm behind you at the Traffic Lights to counter you with your foot on the foot brake ?

Are you too lazy to use your parking brake ?

PS :- An optician on another thread with a similar theme suggests that maybe you need an eye test if you don't get dazzled by headlamps and brake lights.

PPS :- Why do you feel that you have to hurl insults at other posters who don't subscribe to your point of view ? It makes you look very immature.

I hurl abuse?
He called me a mongoloid first, I was merely reciprocating

On re-reading I agree and have edited my post.

But please, don't sit at the lights with your foot on the brake pedal.

There are rumors this technology will appear on the next M5 which I sincerely hope is not the case as nobody buying an M5 could care less about fuel economy.

People selling the car in the EU do though.

Delete "intelligent level headed" and ask yourself the same question again, I suspect the answer will be the same.

Bright brake lights often seem to be fitted to the cars which are most likely to be automatics too, which compounds the problem. Hate!

Don't go to the US then. Absolutely everybody sits with their foot on the brake pedal at traffic lights.

Because of all the autos. Quite a lot of them have those stupid foot handbrakes which make them annoying to use

Yet many US cars have rear light lenses with heavy use of prisms so the light is more diffuse. The problem ones are those with clear lenses and some with LEDs.

Plus it's just rude to sit with lights blazing in somebody's face at night.
