Sidelights required from sunset for the first half-hour, then headlights become necessary - http://astro.ukho.gov.uk/nao/miscellanea/birs2.html - has always seemed daft, but headlights weren't actually obligatory until ten to six today..It's that time of year again, where the nights are drawing out and people seem to have no idea how to gauge the daylight! As well as being pulled out on, at junctions by 3 different people on the way home, I witnessed a girl (i make no excuse for that term) pulling out of the Asda turn onto Lammascotes in a small silver car, no lights on and a taped on wing mirror hanging off! This was all at about 5-25 tonight so the headlights on all other cars should've given people a clue to turn theirs on!
Or 'fog lights on' twat.Get one of those led matrix boards put in the back of the car with "Back off you twat" pre-programmed in
I find I'm constantly having to keep looking over my shoulder to make sure there isn't a cyclist approaching on the pavement. Some come whizzing past within centimetres. (And one girl cycling and looking straight at me as though I had no right on the pavement , actually came full pelt into me on Radford Bank a few months ago. I'd already moved over into the hedge as far as I could, but she aimed straight for me and then looked gobsmacked as I had a go at her as I grabbed the handlebars to break the force as she hit me. Her mates were further up the bank, so probably showing off to them )I've decided to start carrying a walking stick, not for personal use you understand but to shove in the spokes of the wheels of next cyclist I nearly get mowed down by whilst walking along the pavement, GET OFF THE ROAD THATS WHAT CYCLE PATHS ARE FOR!!!!! so if you're cycling along the pavement dressed in black with no lights you may want to wear some something comfy and padded to help break your fall.

I'm probably more easily dazzlable than most people, but I've never had a real issue with front fog lamps - badly adjusted, undipped or just plain inappropriate headlamps are far more of a problem to me.Or 'fog lights on' twat.
Audis seem to have the brightest and most annoying ones.Some of the latest LED ones can be really annoying.
This is lights, not drivers...?Audis seem to have the brightest and most annoying ones.
I find the high-frequency red lights particularly annoying - VWs and pedestrian crossings, seem to be the worst.Some of the latest LED ones can be really annoying.
That's terrible !
Even more terrible was the blind gentleman with his dog by the rugby club who was sworn at for not letting a cyclist by on the path.
