BTW I've already stated my car's defectable if a cop pulled me over and yellow stickered me that's fair and I wouldn't challenge!

Does this actually happen (cops defecting other cops?)

My biggest pet hate is cyclists with their over bright lights that flash on and off. Right at eyelevel aswell.

Yes, they are a pain, but looking from a cyclists point of view, most drivers seem to be blind to cyclist and anything that makes a driver take a look and actually acknowledge that there is a cyclist on the road is a good thing from a cyclists point of view.

I can personally attest to this as I have been hit by a car and been forced off the road more that once in the years that I rode a bike.

Wankers with HIDs or stupidly positioned lights of any kind just get my high beams til i go past.

Contemplating fitting rear spotties for the ####wits behind me. If they dont give a #### about the rule,s why should anyone else...

I'm not sure its such a good idea to blind something that has a good chance of killing you if they cant see you (because they've been blinded)

I've seen a few with perfect lights, they're bright, but angled to the road, so you can see them, but dont get blinded by them. The rest are obviously just doing it to be wankers like who this thread is about.

I agree with everyone here, I own 3" Lifted & 33s 2008 Patrol, just using normal headlights bulbs (whiter. The only HID I got is my lightforce spotties.
Only use them when I'm out of town and no one to bother. I still get people blinding me with HID especially driving patrol.
Dont mind HID, just not low beams that's all

i was told from the rta that hids are only legal in cars that have adjustable headlights - which is most cars now anyway (that little switch hidden away that moves the pattern up and down).

Yea.. No! Read the rta website.. There are at least 3 things it needs to comply
