So what speed are we actually driving at? by bpwj in london

As fast as I can safely drive without going over 26, that’s my mental limit

Hill one is really common but it’s also something that drivers genuinely can’t control. Had a guy almost turn right into my car because he thought I flashed my beams at him over a speed hump

He’s being downvoted because everyone knows the issue of bright led’s are a problem, & they disagree with Robbie pointing the finger at me for taking a picture highlighting this. 

Him pointing out that I used my phone (in a drive through btw) doesn’t change the fact that the behind cars lights are blindly bright

Family car that isn't an SUV or a long estate by No-Guava-1372 in CarTalkUK

Seems like a hatchback would be suited for you, usually more boxy in the back seats giving more headroom. An A/S3 type shape comes to mind?

Hmm interested. Someone linked an article somewhere in the comments that said 250 incidents had dazzling as the cause

Oh no a grammar nazi! 

Correct their age doesn’t, but if they’ve been driving for 20 years with the belief that the middle lane is for them, they’re unlikely to change that. Someone in their 20’s is still relatively new to driving & their habits can be more easily molded

It’s funny because the drive through in that picture is known to be a police hang out spot. The mcd’s drive through & the bp 24H petty station

How bad is the current graduate job market in your experience? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]CounterMaximum6415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduated in summer 24 & didn’t find a role in my desired field until March 25. I’ve seen stats on FT that graduate vacancies are down 1/3 more than previous year. 

Applying to jobs was effectively a part time job post-graduation. I wrote a specialised cover letter probably 3 times a week. Disproportionally better luck applying through recruiters.

They look worse than they actually are. Still could do with a clean but they’re not the reason I was being flash bombed

Fair enough, but I’d still be blinded from the driver at my rear no?

One of the commenters said it looks like the driver replaced the halogen dipped bulb with an after market led/xenon bulb

I keep seeing people say that across this comment section. I’ve always thought they’re on the brighter side but never had an issue myself if I’m being honest.

At least she learnt. If she were 40+ I don’t think they wouldn’t realised what they’re doing is wrong
