I was coming home tonight following a Renault Megane and the idiot driver had no tail lights on (this was at about 8pm). I decided to flash my lights at her a couple of times but she didn't take any notice. So when she pulled into the side I say to her "do you use the force when your driving as I can't say I saw your tail lights on"
She replied with "The headlights were on".
I said "sorry you must have a fault with your car then, put your headlights on and i'll check again" She said "the headlights are automatic"
"Erm no they aren't those are your DRL lights, that control there switches your headlights on."
"Oh I thought they were automatic as they are always on"
WTF am I missing something here or have most people in this country genuinly forgotten how to drive/use their cars?
This just adds to my grumpy old man (i'm 24) list of annoying snow driving problems
1.Folk who forget how wide their car is and come heading towards you in the middle of the road.
2. those who park half way accross the road because there is snow at the side, FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO PARK!
3. Lorries that have "12 wheel drive" and go shooting past you on crap roads
4. tail gaters (normally in 4x4s) that forget a punto could probably stop faster than a range rover in snow
5. pedestrians that forget cars are normally on the road.
Rant over
