yes, me spellin is bad
Your device not got a chell specker then?
I agree. After a few years driving with one cataract and all the glare that produced
.... and then my other eye going the same way ..... I had both lenses "done" - fantastic .... and I thought... great, now I can drive at night without all the glare etc., I have never been more wrong - the feckers have increased the power of headlights to the point where just about everyone I know describes them as you do - even me (#1) daughter - who's 35
If you have a dash cam, then, having watched it and made sure it is safe for such use, I'd send the footage to the chief constable - if you don't, then I suggest it's about time you did have one

Gloucestershire constabulary are trying to raise support for an additional police surcharge on council tax.
They are doing a survey on FB about whether people would be happy to be charged an extra £2/month.

Incidents like this are disappointing because they dilute the respect most of us have for the police. During my years of driving for a living I encountered two such officers, one was a young constable with bum-fluff on his chin driving a panda like he was in the 'Sweeney' & the other a long serving (I assume judging by his age) traffic cop who should have known better than to argue the toss about (alleged) speed with a tachograph. Normally my only gripe about coppers is that they are conspicuous by their absence.

At this point I'm undecided as to whether you actually have a computer problem, or are just taking the p...

Yes. In the case of lights there's less risk of anything dodgy going on unless there's colour control they dun't tell the certifier about. In the case of the emissions scandle the certified tester carried out tests set out fer him to do. If they passed then it was said to be ok but he dint know the car was fooling him and therefore giving unrealistic results. Less chance of that happening with lights but yer never know. Ma hippos boot matt doubles up as a magic carpet but there's no mention of it int sales brochure.Is that in the same way VW met emissions approvals on their diesel cars

If you have a bloody great light bar and it's wired through the main beam circuit, you're asking for trouble, and rightly so. I'm not too sure of the point of light bars other than to say LOOK AT ME.

If they are “auxiliary” lights, they are meant to be wired to the main beam.
Why else would anyone fit extra lights? Maybe extra lighting when driving?

Absolutely.
This is just nuts, of course the bloody lights are for use on main beam. As for the impersonating a police officer bit, the copper was just being a complete and utter twät.

I still don't get it. I'm 61 and my night vision ain't what it was but I can still drive in the dark on unlit country roads with just my ordinary headlights. Why do folk need need football stadium lights to see where they are going? Also. I thought there were rules about how high and how far apart addition lights such as fog light needed to be, so how do light bars get around that.

They are useful if driving off road at night. Which very few people do.
Well they are not fog lights for one , is how they get around that. Look at HGV's a lot of them , brand new have high level lghts from brand new.
Cheers
