Film the lights with yer phoneI find it extremely difficult to check my brake lights as my legs are not long enough to depress the brake pedal whilst I get out to have a look..

Glass, or even back up close to a wall, so you can see the lights are working in the mirror?

I know it sounds unbelievable but I have neither wall nor glass that I can back up to! And it doesn't work with trees and shrubs.
And shop windows etc, all good for checking lightsare working
Short piece of wood on thepedal then and adjust the seat up so ot holds the pedal, failing that leave brake lights on for a bit then see if bulbs are hotI know it sounds unbelievable but I have neither wall nor glass that I can back up to! And it doesn't work with trees and shrubs.

It does in the dark when you turn the running lights off, just check the brake light, well, at least left and right ....

If I waited for them, I'd wait forever, except when Royalty are visiting their Welsh abode, and then they would be too concerned with looking efficient than looking for law breakers!

Yes, he would come and have a look at them but trying to get a simple answer out of him is ......... ! I get about twenty questions asked as to exactly where he is expected to look! He fails to understand that there will only be 3 lights if they are working and it doesn't matter where they are for the purpose of just making sure they are working!

Just been to the local beauty spot & flashed my head lights, then some young lady in skimpy clothes came over so asked her to check the rear lights for me.
So polite she even asked if there was anything I wanted a hand with.

Sadly, that doesn't work when one reaches a certain age.

Fitted a boomslang loom, had to cut and rejoin wires to get them through the headlight bowl.
Changed the antifreeze.

I finally fixed the passenger door so it opens without too much effort
(I have noted that the hinges are worn and will require replacement)

You may be lucky.....I was. If you have it on axle stands , how are you going to lock the flange to undo or tighten the central nut?
Cheers
