how bloody dangerous!?!?!
« on: 16 September 2008, 21:26:30 »

Followed a black pug 306 out of the car park today.... no lights on the back, thought they might have forgot to turn them on. (this was 45 mins ago btw so very dark) turning on the the A road back home and still no lights!!  :o :o

It was then i realized she had them on, but both rears had failed.

Driving off down the road, her black pug 307 just disappeared, soooo dangerous luckly she was going the same way i was, in town about 20 mins after setting off, i pull along side and let my thoughts be known!

If she had been sat a t T junction without her foot on the brake, someone would have slammed into the back of her.  >:(

fckin french cars, 53 plate, both rear lights failed.

Wow, just leaving a car park makes your car 10 years younger!  :D

I'll forgive people for not knowing .... just ... But it's when you tell some they have a light out and their reply is " Yes! I know!"  >:(

Almost as bad are those Peugeots (206?) that often have the brake lights on ALL the time, because those kind careing folk at Peugeot left the brake light switch on the passenger side of the car so it could be kicked easier.  :-?

indicating altogether would be nice - if you'te turning off the roundabout signal then i can pull away quicker and we can all get to work on time  :)

and if you're carying on round the roundabout then signal right, that way you won't have to get your arse in you hand when i pull out in front of you 'coz it looks like you're going straight on >:(

Being French it's designed as a LEFT hand drive car. For cost, the brake system was extended across the car to put the brake pedal on the right, but the switch was left where it was. A mate from work traced his problem to the switch that had been kicked off its bracket, which had left his brake lights on all the time.

This lady approached me and told me my brake lights weren't working.  I was reversing out of a parking space.  Bulbs I thought, no problem.  Even a thicky like me can get that sorted.! :y

Well I checked the bulbs and they were perfect, like brand new.

Yet another thing I couldn't fix! DOH! :'(
