keg Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Whilst on the M62 today, an old VW came up behind me, removing my retinas with an illegal upgrade. ANPR cameras will not sort this sort of stuff out. Traffic Patrols will. I know it's only low grade stuff but when you spend a lot of time on the road, you see a lot of it. Talking of which, is anyone watching the documentary that is on Tuesdays about the M6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I find the legal Xenons a bit blinding too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuffy Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 The police are also blind to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 The police are also blind to them Bloody nuisance, and fog lights when it's not foggy. The lightest bit of mist and fools everywhere have put their fog lights on, if can see the cars in front of you clearly you don't need them on. Never mind speeding this is what needs sorting out.

pimpkiller Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Loads of illegal numberplates about as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yes, we had the "fog lights but no fog" syndrome today as well. Know what you mean about the legal Zenons but they should automatically adjust, maybe they were illegals ones as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Problem with xenons is dirty lenses causing the very focused beam to be disrupted and not project flat. Edit..

I was sat at some traffic lights yesterday,,and out of about 20 cars that went across in front of me, 3 were on their phones and 2 had no seat belts on ! again ANPR cameras aint going to catch them ! you just don't see the police patrolling the streets these day like you use to...to busy sat at their desks doing paperwork,drinking tea and eating dounuts !

Sha Bu Le Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I find the legal Xenons a bit blinding too. Blinding is an understatement Rupert, driving towards one parked with his headlights on chucking enough watts out to start a bushfire, pulls up opposite and asks him to dip his headlights. His reply "they are dipped" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
