What is it with some stupid drivers who think that they can drive at night without putting their car lights on ? Just ignorance or stupidity ?

I drive a car designed for the ignorant and stupid, it's lights come on automatically. In my case it's dementia.

Are you joking about the dementia ?

Most times its forgetfulness, not checking, I followed someone out of a Morrisons last night with their lights off, they drove off up the main road with them off - in all seriousness in a lot of city centres you as a driver don't need them , thats not to excuse the illegal behaviour but it partly explains why its not immediately apparent when someone forgets.

Do what the Swedes do and drive with your lights during the day, especially in country areas.

The last car I had saw the dashboard lights come on automatically, even when the headlights weren't on. I must be honest, it threw me the first time I drove at night.

It would also be nice if some motorists didn't consider signalling that they're about to turn as an optional extra.

I'm more bothered about the feckwits that think a little mist or rain is an excuse to put their fog lights on and dazzle anyone behind them.
