remind me not to go in a convoy with u or come to the area u live in. there seems to be alot of people who cant drive near you.
my main concern is i think your a crash hunter as you always seem to be there lol
In MK, pretty much all of our grid system has streetlights, so combined with everyone around them having lights on, they can see where they are going.. it's the rest of us who only notice them hacking along in silhouette of someone elses lights. We've all done it, forgotten to pop our lights on in lit up carparks I'm sure but it's so easily noticeable that your dashboard is dark surely ?? Not to mention the dozens of cars flashing you and tooting at you to point out your omission!

Not to mention the dozens of cars flashing you and tooting at you to point out your omission!I'm not sure what kinds of cars these were but the problem with a lot of new cars is that the dashes are illuminated so people who are not really on the ball can easily not notice. Our Merc is like that as is the IS250 I'm currently driving around in so anyone who's a bit dumb would think the lights are already on..........

[COLOR="Indigo"]Ah, ok .. that goes a alittle way to explaining some of it then. I wasn't going to type this because you will think I am making it up .. LOL ..
On the way home one night last week, I stopped at a roundabout for a car with no lights on. All three of us at the roundabout flashed our lights to tell him ( and I am so glad it was a guy the whole male/female driver debate doesn't start again ) and he turned to face us and waved. The car behind him gave us a hands up/shoulder shrug 'I've been trying' expression.
I was then behind this guy for about half a mile and I could see the car in front of him flashing brake lights to try and tell him and they just got a non waving hand gesture out the window. I decided when there was nothing behind me to turn my lights on and off a few times to see if that gave him a clue as he really didn't understand what we all meant. This got me a new hand gesture too so seeing the traffic lights ahead were about to go red I pulled up next to him and opened the window.
I had to toot to get his attention and he just waved at me and smiled. I made flashing light hand signals and pointed at his bonnet .. so he waved to his bonnet.(Honestly!) I made 'wind your window down' gestures, he waved at his window .. I shouted at him and he made 'I can't hear you' signs with his hand to his ear.. he finally wound his window down and I said 'the reason everyone is trying to get your attention is that you haven't turned your lights on' He said ' Oh, well it's only a short journey home' and the lights changed and off he drove, still lightless!

Haha that just made me burst out laughing! :lol:
He really must be a complete and utter moron, the kind that find standing up a challenge.......what kind of car was he driving out of curiosity?
An old renault megane, in a very dark grey (Shahz would approve, lol) I was starting to feel like his personal traffic cone, protecting him in my bright orange supe
well you were the right colour:lol:
that was toooooo easy Sam.
I shall be cancelling all personal traffic cone services once she emerges from the magic place in spring
Not Suki, she's staying stripey... Pumpkin is going ... to be very different
