Find the JC cookie in your browser and delete it. Then try again. Sounds corrupted.

And don't forget to tick 'remember me'.

Friggin twats that keep assuming my Philips globes are actually me with my high beams on so decide to shine their high beams as payback.

Hey. Bright aftermarket lights and poorly aligned lights are as bad as high beams. As are foggies with aftermarket high wattage globes in them and run as driving lights.

If people are going to make these mods to their lights without considering the impact it has on oncoming traffic, then they can be forced to see my lighting mod, being HIDs in the fogs that only come on with the high beams.

If people are flashing or high beaming you, you need to either return the stock configuration, or adjust it to suit driving conditions. I drive a tanker with 40,000L of flammable liquid on the back 12 hours a day, the last thing my family wants is me being blinded by oncoming traffic with stupid lighting mods blinding me.

We adjusted the lights to make sure they were aligned properly and wouldn't be blinding to oncoming traffic. Wasn't much of a mod either just replaced the globes with the philips xtreme vision ones.

At least she's using them. All too often I see cars being driven around at night with the headlights switched off. I suspect it's due to modern dash displays being lit up with LCD screens whether the lights are on or off.

Nearly as bad are people who don't recognise that using the headlights in low visibility conditions helps other drivers to see them and not just them to see. I was in traffic recently, with rain pissing down, with one car, silver or grey in colour, which was almost impossible to see at times.

Something else: drivers that don't grasp the concept of matching speed when merging from an on ramp onto a higher speed road. It is safer to accelerate up to the higher speed and then find a gap rather than crawl along and try to accelerate into a gap. As an aside, there is a system used in the US where the on ramps have stop lights to space out the merging traffic. Works well.

(Yes, I was too slow to post. I think it can be figured out though.)
