Just buy a bloody bulb (or 2) !

Amazing how many cars have a headlight out and I just saw a belter, a young lad in an old Honda Civic and the only light on the front of the car was one rather dim yellow sidelight, nothing else, I was pulling out and could see him but as it is dark and raining I had to wait as I wasnt sure whether it was a cylist or something, it really does screw with the visibility and perception, people were flashing him but on he went, what goes through these cretins heads, he must be aware things are a bit dim. I had to do a double take the other week with one car unlit on the left and one on the right behind it, it looked like one car.

Cool story bro etc but its really annoying, what is the legal position for someone driving round in a car with duff lights ?

Are things going to improve as OEM Leds come in ?

Why doesnt this country mandate a spare set of bulbs like other countries do.

What is/should the penalty be for bulbs out, sliding scale for how many, anyone can have one go, but if your main source of light in the front of a vehicle is your TomTom then you are an arse and deserve to be banned !

I did the sidelights on my CLS, I was warned it was a pain in the arse but it really wasnt that bad, I think it doesnt really have any consequences and could cost money and is a bit tricky so just wait until summer/MOT time, Halfords provide a service for bulbs but its all just a bit too much like effort to bother.

Used to see some old bloke in a Mondeo on the way to work, his only light was the tip of his fag, for months, some people are too stupid to be allowed a car.

Ironically, my Friday night takeaway just arrived in a cycloptic Renault Megane (Fat Ass version)

I think the Fogs thing isnt as prevalent, it was a late nineties into the 2000s thing, I blame all the adverts with cars with their fogs ablaze, muppets thought it looked good so tunrned them on, was usually french stuff.
