Seen that a lot with modern cars, issue is dash lights are always on, so that makes you forget, also DRLs.

Saw Toyota thingy on M4. 9pm, no lights on  :o

Yep the Jag has dashboard lights lit all the time, but auto lights tell me lights are off when it thinks they should be on (I've turned the auto lights feature off so as it doesn't turn them on, but just warns) - like to turn them on myself as there are few things I've still got control of manually ;)

See them at night with no rear lights. Go past, drl's are on. So bright I guess the driver thinks the headlights are on.

Not seen any with no front lights though.

Loads of cars this morning at 7 o'clock when normal people have lights on to be seen with, not light on to see with. I flashed a few to start with but gave up. My auto lights thought it was plenty dark enough to need lights.

This boils my piss.

|Scenario of me and some oppstard on the Motorway|

Bad weather (so daylight but terrible rain)

I'm approaching you at a reasonable speed on the motorway, I can't see you because you have nothing on your arse saying "I'm Here".  I move into Lane 2 to overtake and then notice you have a fully illuminated dash with some gay lights showing up front........ nothing on the back of the car!!!!!!!!!

There has to be a review of the law - This is absolutely dangerous!
