On the cager headlight thing...

[Motu]

Now that I'm on the open road a lot more I have a new thing that pisses me off on a daily basis - when I overtake another car or truck I give them the 2 sec gap before I pull in front,put my indicator on...then just as I'm moving to the left and check the left mirror I had just looked in - some prick has moved to my inside to undertake! I've just carried on coming over on a couple.Stupid pricks,they just have to get ahead of the vehicle in front no matter what.I hope a bike doesn't try it or they could be checking out the cheesecutter first hand.

Too many of these lights are just a big glare - they don't light up the road more than 10-15 metres on front of the car but they sure as hell piss you off when riding towards them when they're still 100 metres + away!!!

If you cut the wires to them I bet most of those owning cars with those lights wouldn't notice the difference.

Plus a lot of those extra lights get knocked out of alignment - straight towards you eyes when heading towards them, argh!!!

I agree entirely. Ever since cars have had these extra lights fitted it has pissed me off that dickheads just use them all the time and not just in foggy conditions. They are mounted low so as not to reflect back off fog which means in clear conditions they shine straight at oncoming traffic. The usual people do this - boy racers, but there is an ever increasing group of dickheads driving Falcons and Commodores that all seem to have them fitted now and drive with them on.

If I was a gun toting kinda dude I would happily go around shooting them all out, just as well I'm not into guns eh!
