I was in lane two overtaking stationary traffic in lane one which was queing to come off. Suddenly a vehicl... |

| I disabled them on my cars because I think some people don't look properly and assume they are an indicator. I think some people probably just don't look anyway and would quite likely have done the same with or without the amber running lights. I've always kept the lights on my American vehicles or... |

| My car has a key that you can pull out of the corner of the key fob, but woe betide you if you ever try to use it. The alarm goes off immediately as you push it into the hidden keyhole on the underside of the door handle and there is no keyhole in the car to start the engine. Just a push-start. The ... |

I don't know if it was ... |

| I think I'm off to get my eyes tested. I leave for work at just after 7:00am and on Monday as I was on my way to work I approached a roundabout.
