I have noticed that many cars now have indicators that only function within 2ft of the junction.

And fog lights that only work in perfectly clear weather conditions.

Rear fogs on when doing well over the limit. Not much chance of being rear ended so I guess they work as advertised.

Having them on in near stationary traffic also seems to work, especially if reinforced by brake lights.

Has anyone noticed how some of these new fangled over-bright headlights appear to go rainbow viewed from certain angles.

Just collected ex-demo Skoda Karoq with 1.5 petrol engine knocking out as much BHP as my son’s 1.9 diesel SAAB.

Very smart. R-

I would get them to change the number plate, doesn’t look legal to me.

Very nice car Rob.

Something I think is a serious issue is the modern LED type front lights used on motorcycles and here is why. At certain angles rhe beams are not visible. On cars this is hardly an issue as cars rarely tilt, but I noticed a newish motorbike come towards me at speed and as he banked for the corner his front light almost completely dissapeared until after the corner where the motorcycle was back upright again. This is a big concern and has the potential for other vehicles to miss a motorbike coming roud a bend at speed. It is as if it had no front light at all.

I got a felt tip marker with it so I can write the reg number properly.
It has information overload as a standard fit on the dash. May have to go to night school to learn how to use it all.

I noticed a button on my car the other day after over a year. It said Info. When I pressed it the screen showed my exact lat and long plus the road name.

A kind of ‘You are here’ arrow.
