Women driving without their lights on ...

[hillbillyblackcat]

The same bellends always seem to remember to turn on their front fog lights though, day or night.



Such a pet hatred it's now became a "Dadism" in the car with my eldest two shouting "Turn them off it's not fuckin' foggy!"

I've noticed a lot more people putting on their fog lights when it rains. Not sure what that's all about.

Only a total idiot would think I was presenting a detailed clinical analysis ...... what a thing to get so worked up about

Here he comes, he’s had one Buck’s Fizz too many ( he’s had two)

Seems you're the only one worked up. About women.

No, just asked a question.

A question about women isn't automatically sexist, as you appear to believe, or worth becoming aggressive about.

 

[RossTheNinja]

There is no such thing as side lights. They are actually called parking lights, and that is all they should be used for.

Highway code disagrees

Poorer drivers than men though. Always on their phones at traffic lights and parking their Fiat 500s at ridiculous angles in the supermarket car park.

Old drivers by far the worst though, clutch control goes and hearing them trying to put the car into first is hideous. Revving the engine to fuck and then driving off at 5mph holding everyone else up.

Now that is sexist

OK so nobody is worked up and your poll is statistically insignificant. Glad we got there in the end.

No arsed.

 

[Goat Eyes]

Tossers driving with lights on when there is clearly no need.

Probably the OP.

It’s a legal requirement on cars manufactured after 2011.

I never claimed anything else, it was just an observation .... you need to stop taking things so seriously if this is how it gets you.

It isn't remotely sexist, just a question.

 

[Mickeys Chicken Leg]

I can kind of make an excuse for them if it's very heavy rain and road spray is excessive and obscures vision. Other than that I can only assume they are playing at being Colin McRae.

 

[RossTheNinja]

No arsed.

Cool

Anything else you want to make up while you're on?

If it isn't sexist what is it? Were more silver cars or white cars?

'Side lights' are next to useless whilst driving. Virtually invisible.

It would be sexist if I was claiming it was a fact that women were unique in this practice whereas I quite clearly stated that the men were idiots as well.

In my experience women do this more than men but I may well be wrong ... on the other hand I may be right.

I was hoping someone would be able to tell me why people, especially women as I see it, do this.

That's all, not the massive sexist tirade you choose to see it as.

Here here

Where where?

What people fail to realise, and I’ve noticed this a lot...most modern cars have day running lights, so most people just rely on those, except they don’t light up the rear in rain, fog etc...the amount of cars that’s just appear is frightening, but you try telling them

I’d be more worried that the op was on a motorway looking in all the cars and assessing driving standards of others instead of concentrating on the road.
Just saying.

I'd be more worried if you have a car but are incapable of doing both at the same time.

Good drivers are constantly assessing other drivers and their actions.

Anyway, I have better things to do today and hope you do, have a very Happy Christmas
