Many cars are fitted with 'automatic lights which drivers could / should use. Bike riders have for many years been advised to keep the healights on dip during daylight hours as so many drivers involved in accindents with bikes always said 'I didn't see him coming'.
In daylight that should bother you should it?

I guess I am a bit light sensitive. And it seems unthinking to me. In a similar vein to comments on the indicators thread, if people are on autopilot when it comes to lights and indicators what else are they on autopilot about? And that does bother me.
Most modern motorbikes automatically have the running lights on as soon as you start them - you cannot turn them off without switching the engine off. This is done so we can be seen supposedly. It’s absolutely pointless for cars though - Think it’s one of the useless EU rules now 😕

You must have a very good life if that is all that bothers you in this world.
Actually I am more bothered about people who post assumptions that I am only bothered about headlights being used in good visibility. And more than both of those things, people who use emojis? What are you like...

Most modern cars have daytime running lights which in the summer can be pointless but are invaluable in the autumn/winter.
The real bugbear of mine is people who put fog lights on at the first sign of a little mist when visibility is clearly in the 100s of metres

You are right and being an ex-two wheeler you need dip beam on all the time, however I think a lot of bikers are riding with full beam on all the time and with some of these modern lighting systems they can be quite blinding.

Yes I find it annoying when a motorbike rider has full bright lights on and then they sit 2 ft from my right rear tail lights, far from making them more visible it actually takes my eyes off the road in front of me as that is all I can see in my mirrors

That 'slipstreaming' that some bikers do is very off-putting, you worry about what could happen if you had to brake suddenly (because you are the type of driver who doesn't think that having your lights on creates a forcefield of invincibility around your vehicle, and that you will react to what happens around you).

People on autopilot is a very seroius safety problem.

Same in Sweden I think. Statistically there are less accidents when cars have their lights on so makes sense really.
My car has an automatic light option that I leave on the whole time.
Hence why Volvos have their side lights come on as soon as you start her up. I believe you can't turn them off either. (Unless you can on newer models)

Drivers who think hazard warning lights are 'I can park anywhere I want for a bit' lights.
Ah good one; and the parking in disabled paring spaces to nip in!
Almost saw a punch up with a guy that regularly parked in the Baldock services disabled bay, to grab a Costa, a well dressed old chap spoke to him about it and the guy with the Costa lost it, I thought it was going to turn to blows and went to intervene, fortunately for all he got in his car and drove off.
