IKWYM. Doesn't the light hurt the eyes if you do switch it on. :-(
I have good night vision and it gets spoiled by cars at both night and
day, who have badly aligned head lights, or fog lamps. Do drivers
assume
that their fog lamps are driving lights, because they are not yellow?
On
the same subject, I get blinded by the number of drivers that are using
head lights during the day and there is nothing better to distract you,
when they start flashing their lights in your rear view mirror as they
bounce along the road. As for motorcycles, why do they drive round
using
full beam? That really gives me black spots in my vision. I've started
to
put mine on now, when they approach me.
I've no problem with motorbikes using headlights during the day -
anything
that makes them more visible as they overtake
on the inside, on the motorway...

If you're doing 30mph in the middle (first overtaking) lane, probably

I guess you don't get out on motorways too much then ... I was on the M25
earlier this week, and had motorbikes come around the inside of me in all
three lanes - yes, the inside lane as well. All were just taking the
'easiest' route through the traffic for them, and sod the rest of us who
couldn't weave around like they could. What with all the foreign trucks, the
people who can't use a slip road, the people who have no idea what lane
speed structure is about, and particularly irresponsible motorbike riders,
the motorways are becoming more dangerous almost by the week.


Certainly the M40 has seemed like that.

Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of the horrific accident that began

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
