While ye are ranting about drivers.
I am seeing it more and more where you are moving along on a main road at 60 to 70km/hr in heavy enough traffic and one of the drivers up front decides to brake heavily in order to let a car come out from a side road. Everything behind has to suddenly brake hard and it comes close to causing a fender bender. yesterday a lad was coming behind me and was not prepared for the stop so he had to brake into the hard shoulder. Now, if traffic is stop start and moving bumper to bumper then i have no problem with stopping to let someone out but stopping from speed is a dangerous maneuver!
Light problem here too - specifically with all models of Hyundai and a few BMW's.
But the Hyundai are the worst, even when dimmed, they dazzle. It's fine on a good wide road, but I have had to almost come to a full stop on a road where 2 cars were just about able to pass because of the blue dazzle from these Hyundai lights in order to ensure that i didn't cross the white line or go into the verge on the other side. i find them fierce hard on the eyes!
Would agree with you on the Hyundai’s alright. But the one that really gets me lately is the newer Toyotas with the super bright led day time running lights. Far to many times over the winter I came up behind a car with no rear lights well passed when you should have lights on and the driver todling on oblivious to the fact they no lights on because the drls are so bright in front.
The drls are actually something I’m not to keen on with my own golf but at least it has proper auto lights that turn on the dips and tail lights the second it gets dark enough for them, even on a dull day going under a long bridge they will often flick on
