Do buses have an MOT, as such?
The legislation requiring two tail lights - brought in about 1950 - was one of the few bits of retrospective legislation. Requiring all old cars to be modified from one to two.
Town buses may have been excepted.
I'd be surprised if that applied to a non still in service bus though.
Rear fog in tungsten days use 21 watt bulbs. Same as stop lights and indictors. Two isn't going to make any difference to the intensity.
He won't (because he probably can't), it's his hit-n-run MO.

Really? Most cars in London seem to switch headlights on in anything other than mid day sun.
The real test is if you see the lights before the car.
Only real difference with DRL, is you can't forget to switch them on.
that is brian...
Are there no new or recently new cars where you drive? Modern cars with LED lights do all kinds of tricks now so you can see better what the car is doing.
Including but not limited to: dimming/disabling DRL when indicators active dimming/disabling headlamp when indicators active animated indicators to attract attention dimming/disabling rear light cluster when indicating.
He has a problem in that he wears his wife's underwear.
It's faulty then. Previous car's electric brake engaged in under 0.5 secs.
You need to drive a modern automatic with stop start and then you'll know why so many cars do not use the handbrake.
Should have posted for Mr Cheerful in uk.rec.cars.maintenance really.
How would you know it was a town and not a large village?
Rule 226 of the Highway Code says don't dazzle when using fog lights. It's safe to assume you are more likely to dazzle when using fog lights in town and thus in close proximity to other cars than when on rural roads and from their think fog lights are not to be used in such conditions.
0.5 seconds is an appreciable time
I drive a modern car with stop-start and the parking brake applies automatically - regardless whether stop-start is active or disabled. Hence, once the car is truly stationary, I just take my foot off the brake pedal.
Trouble is, the other car I drive regularly is also automatic but has a manual handbrake and I do have to think about it when I switch over.
Nope.
Only when you are actually driving off. Except on a decent slope there is no need to use the handbrake between having your foot on the brake and moving it to the accelerator when driving off.
The alternative is to disengage drive when stopped at the lights.
