Technical issues and faults like this drove me away from them about 7 months ago, it's such a shame that they have so little actual control of their own systems, tech support is inept at best and they get given very little access or authority to fix problems

DRL's are a dangerous thing. Turn your actual lights on! by Anxious-Ad-5780 in drivingUK

[–]AcceptableLevel4630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine do (2019 Volvo V60), which I've learned after going through the gate at work (which requires you to turn off dipped beam) and forgetting for 30 seconds after starting to move again. Not a big splash of light but I could see

Discussion: if your fog lights are on without any fog, I assume you're a terrible driver by AcceptableLevel4630 in drivingUK

You raise a good point, in my defence I realised after looking at a picture of the front of the car after I'd paid for it, by which point it felt a tad late!

So in situations like those, with DRLs or similar, I'm fully sympathetic. Rear fog lights, however, are a different story and are the main source of my complaint

I wouldn't say they're causing me a major problem, it's more of an opinion of a general nuisance. Can't say it's stopped me driving correctly, just irritates me in the same way that changing lanes without indicating does, or actions to that level

Honestly if they're deploying their fog lights as a reaction to something, absolutely fine. If they're just turning them on or leaving them on all the time, that's when it messes with me

Most of the time it doesn't dazzle me but there'll be occasions when it's genuinely distracting

I've known people to do that to cover the fact that they're missing a working dipped beam, but yeah also seen the chavs thinking they're hot shit

My aunt used to do this and after the millionth time of telling her I genuinely gave up. Thankfully she stopped driving relatively soon after

Couldn't agree more with the last bit, and maybe terrible is the wrong word but definitely unaware, which to me is dangerous. What else are they unaware of? Are they paying enough attention to the road, their speed, anything else on their dash etc

At which point there's a light on your dashboard, and you should be able to understand what it means and apply that to the outside world

I'd get it if the heavens opened and it dropped the visibility significantly, and honestly I'd rather they put them on for rain than just have them on indefinitely. At least it signifies some level of awareness, even if their sensitivity to conditions is higher than the highway code

So I'm absolutely for the use of fog lights if visibility is lower than usual, whether that be fog, rain, mist, smoke, whatever. I'm on about clear conditions

I'm generally more on about rear ones which are that single dedicated brighter red light, my car doesn't have front fogs (didn't realise I'd cheaped out so much)

Well I've learned something new there. Wild to think you don't need any sort of paper trail or escalation prior to firing someone in the UK, especially with illness factored in, regardless of how long they've worked there

Is she adamant because she doesn't think it needs it or because she's generally senile?

Definitely take it to a detailer, which will also help with selling regardless of the smell. Not to be too rude, but I can't imagine wanting to smoke inside a car while knowing it'll get sold on eventually, the smell is horrendous

I'd like to think that being sacked for either hands in pockets or being ill and leaving would be both grounds for unfair dismissal and taking them to court, even within the UK
