Blinding Brake Lights
Ask a Question
Does anyone else find it annoying when the car in front, be it at traffic lights or in a queue, have their brake lights permanently on, thus dazzling the driver behind? I put my car in neutral to be courteous to the driver behind me as it annoys me. (I was also taught this when I was having driving lessons - was nobody else)?? That said the driver behind me could me dazzling the car behind him/her! Ha ha!!
Well, everyone has a different driving style. As long as it's legal, safe and not causing harm to anyone then it's fine.
I agree in principle. It's safer to put your hand break on at traffic lights and you can move off quicker if your foot isn't on the brake, which makes it seem like it should be more popular! However, I can't say I've noticed it much in reality apart from when I've been in standstill traffic jams which isn't that often.
I agree that you are supposed to put your car in safe position when in a queue - in neutral, handbrake on, just in case something happens to you or your foot slips, making it safer for yourself and people around you. I do think standards slip after you have passed your test, but I may now be opening up a new topic, so I'll stop there!
