That someone has nothing better to do than take a picture of this concerns me.
We live in a country full of petty rules, do-gooders and bottom inspectors, the more people mind their own business when no harm's being done the better off we would all be...
Oh FFS, can you not see that he is being blinded, his retinas burned and kittens are keeling over out of shot ... !!!We live in a country full of petty rules, do-gooders and bottom inspectors, the more people mind their own business when no harm's being done the better off we would all be...

This.If the OP is being blinded by an AUDI, their poor vision should prohibit them from driving. OP, best write to the DVLA notifying them of your condition and returning your license card.
Yes, I sit with the footbrake on, I absolutely hate the people that take 5 minutes to move off because they put the car out of gear and handbrake on and aren't awake enough to realise that traffic is moving.

s off with this 'blinding', 'dazzling', 'retina burning' st.
If it's really anything like as big an issue for you, as you make it out to be, get the fk off the roads before you cause an accident as a result of your st eye sight.
Either than, or stop whinging like a little bh, and get over yourself.

The OP has my sympathy. Had this quite a few times. Several with Audis where the inconsiderate drivers sit with their foot on the brake. Once was after an accident on the M25 where we were stationary for 20-25 minutes. Last time was a level crossing with I think a Kia. Once I'm stopped for more than a minute or so, knock it into park & take my foot off the brake. In fact at the crossing I switched off as well. Just common courtesy which VAG drivers seem particularly bad at.

Is it that hard to push an auto selector one notch into neutral? I manage with mine...
In the car, in a single instance, no. But repeat the process thousands of times a year, for the very small minority of people who struggle with this, and I'd argue my inconvenience hugely outweighs theirs. In the bikes, one is similarly an auto, the other one frankly, yes, finding neutral has always been a bit of a
. So no chance there.To be clear I'm not saying that you should do it at every stop, but at a level crossing or a particularly long set of traffic lights... Why not? Even just to relieve you from having to keep the pedal pressed (assuming no auto hold) until the traffic starts moving again.

Sensitivity aside, if the car is an auto and has stop/start then the engine will only stop when the brake pedal is held down, once released the engine will start again - killing even more kittens...
Not really with mine you can be sitting with the S/S activated, auto hold on, in D without the brake pedal down. Push the throttle, engine restarts and auto hold releases. Problem with the S/S in mine is after pressing the throttle and caught unaware the engine has quite a bit of delay from pushing the pedal to it starting and moving forward.

If the OP hadn't parked so far up it's arse that you can't even see the bumper then perhaps his 'blinding' issue wouldn't have occurred.
+1 T&T really should be taught more often to drivers (as well as practised more, I simply do not get why more drivers do not do it, probably because they are not 1 metre closer to their destination). And maybe just maybe he would not have had a need to get his phone out whilst "driving".

How inconsiderate do you need to be? People really don't appreciate how dazzling modern LED brake lights are at night, especially close up.
Why are you so close up? Learn the "Tyres and tarmac" rule White? Check
