carol1962 Â Â 10 #1 Posted April 3, 2014 Yesterday I drove from Crosspool, through Crookes and then onto hillsborough and was totally amazed at the number of drivers driving without any lights on at all. I thought I'd seen it all, then in the evening whilst walking the dog (both of us wearing high viz coats) I saw a cyclist riding along our road with no lights on. Why do they do this, are they that special they can be seen in the dark, or is it because they cant be bothered to put them on????

Â I came across the same thing in the early hours of this morning, so many without their lights on and it was barely day light not to mention the fog. Crazy.

monkey69 Â Â 10 #4 Posted April 3, 2014 even cyclist like myself had the sense to wear florescent jackets and have lights on, just shows who has common sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

martynh99 Â Â 10 #10 Posted April 3, 2014 Probably a case of people getting too reliant on the tech in cars - auto headlights. I have mine set to come on automatically when the sensor on the screen thinks it's dark enough and in most cases it gets it right, but this morning I knew it was 'dark enough' due to fog to put them on but the car thought it knew better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
RonJeremy   10 #11 Posted April 3, 2014 It really winds me up too, when people in fog coloured cars drive around in the fog with no lights on. Total fools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
