Dear PH
Today I noticed my car was making a regular clicking noise, and there is a flashing orange light on the dash.

Is it still safe to drive?

Is it a BMW?

Trade it in immediately for a brown Dacia Sandero, second hand of course.

Cash or PCP though?

Your wife's twist and shout vibrator has a gearbox issue and the betamax video is full?

You haven't accidentally hit the indicator stalk have you?..

Dear PH

Other cars keep flashing their lights at me, when I already have my foglights on for safety.

Should I put high beams on as well?

Oh I see, you're not being serious.

Do remember if one of your headlights is out you need to put full beams on.

The what?

OP - you obviously don't drive a Landrover.

If I have fewer than 5 lights flashing on the dashboard it's a good day. Or it's broken down.

Or an earth fault.

Or a faulty bulb.

Or a knackered sensor

Or a Tueday.

You've accidentally driven away in the breakdown truck instead of your car.
The clicking noise is the traffic you're crushing whilst posting on your mobile on the move.
Please just park immediately, and our service operative will be with you shortly.

Dear PH.

I am a law abiding driver. For instance, I would never stop in a box junction, especially when I intend to turn right. So, why do motorists behind me in the queue get so frustrated by this?

Thank you
Although my response was supposed to be of a sarcastic nature

It's not going to be much of an agony aunt column with only one person posting questions....

[drivin_me_nuts]

Dear PH, is it acceptable to stay in the fast lane of the motorway as long as I have my right indicator on?

Turn on rear fogs first : be seen, be safe.
