Yes, I know I've had a bitch on here before about DIY headlight repairs, but I swear it's getting worse year on year. Since the evenings have got dark again, I've been blinded from the front and dazzled from the rear so many times that I've lost count. This is either because headlight bulbs have been fitted incorrectly, or the cretins behind the wheel don't know what the blue light on the dash means ...
On top of this, on more than one occasion, I've almost run into the back of a motorbike that's turned out to be a car with the offside tail light out.
Today, I had to drive to another town some thirty miles away, and for most of the time it was more or less foggy. At least one in three cars was not showing any lights. I think I saw about two that were actually using their rear fog lights. Funny how drivers always manage to find the tiresome things on a dark wet night when they are guaranteed to dazzle you, but never have them on when it's full daylight and thick fog !
Anyway, on the return trip, as I passed the main county police headquarters, a law car pulled out behind me. It had one headlight pointing into the ditch, and the other up into my rearview mirror. If it's now reached the point where even the coppers can't keep their own vehicles legal, we might as well all give up ...
DIY headlight bulb replacement should be banned. You ought to have to take your car to approved garages where there is someone trained and certified to change the wretched things correctly >:-(
Rant over ...
