A year or so back we started noticing, when driving in twilight, that "That car in front hasn't got its lights on -- pillock!". Then lo and behold when we'd overtaken it, it *did* have its [front] lights on.
It began to dawn on us that many, many cars now display front lights, but no rear lights.
What's the reasoning here? I mean: you have lights on in order to make sure your vehicle is seen by other road users: what's the point in only being seen from the front?
BTW I'm not moaning about the drivers, who presumably have no control over this: I'm moaning about the manufacturers.
