Check your lights!
Why is it that every time I go out in the car I always end up behind someone who's tail lights are faulty?
It is very reare these days to be behind someone who actually has 2 stop lights working.
Despite it being a legal requirement, it seems that no-one ever bothers to check thier lights to see if they are working.
If there was to be an accident & you were found to have faulty lights then I'm sure that there will be all sorts of legal consiquences.
So come on folks, check your car tail lights, It cannot just be Burnley where 1/2 of them do not work (Cardiff was just the same).

Re: Check your lights!

God people and fog lights really 'drive' me mad..............as soon as there a bit of rain people reach for that switch they never use and put their fog lights on the then forget to switch them off and that drive through town  really get me mad. "What do they think they are doing................ they would say stop people driving into the back of them !!!!!!! More likely to happen it people can not see them brake !
