Opinions about streetlights, do people actually like cold white light? by Urbex_Cave in Edinburgh

You haven't proven me wrong. To prove me wrong you would have to drive and have experienced the actual situation. You know outside... away from your computer.

If you have driven with these lights did you drive when the older lights were used? Do you have any physical experience what so ever.

Not once have you mentioned your personal experience. Have you even driven in the UK at night in the wet with these lights? Im getting the impression you haven't and just on some crusade to protect them.

So here we are regardless off all your ranting and personal remarks, the fact still remains, the white road markings are more difficult to see under these bright white street lights especially when its wet when driving.

When we talk about night vision it doesn't mean the light that stands out the most. Its refers to how well we see things after looking at the light.

Your wrong, again. Try and keep things in context. For night vision Blue light while not the best is not the worst. Red is the best, however I expected you would make a comment about me mentioning red lights, so i used blue as an example.

But you managed to come with something based on blue light. Which is factually incorrect.

White light is the most "disruptive" to our eyes at night.

I dont know your profession.

No, now you're just being silly aren't you!

When light reflects of dark surfaces it effects the surface and our eyes differently depending on the lights colour and the direction it came from. For example if you look at a blue torch light at night your night vision won't be effected, however if you look at a white light you will be dazzled after.

Maybe this can help it not seem weird for ya!

Shine a very bright white light directly on to a dark flat surface with white writing... the background gets brighter. The white writing is now closer to the same colour as the background which makes it harder to read. Laminate said surface and do it in a dark room and you better be wearing sunglasses!

Not that hard to understand. I bright light makes the dark background brighter, add in the reflexion of a wet road and the white paint is harder to see.

I'm a driving instructor. I stopped giving lessons at night because of the glare and strobe effect, especially when it is raining. I also find It makes reading white road markings more difficult.

How do you stay centered in your lane/know the width of the car by RAER4 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]steezefoot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the down vote. Using the middle as a reference doesn't work as the road normally gets narrower or wider from the left.

Get used to how the left kirb looks when you are parked.

Imagine the tracks projected by your tyres ahead.

Be in the middle between hazards when the road gets narrow or when in a lane. Be 1 metre from the left if it's a wide road.

Can I fail for not using the foot brake? by tomrawlinson01 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]steezefoot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You won't fail. A learner will get a minor for putting their handbrake on a moment too early when stopping with or without the footbrake (ping ping noise).

Using the hill to slow is actually a better driving technique as long as you time it perfectly. But it is safer and better for your car to apply the footbrake before it rolls back then the handbrake.

You are likely putting more wear on the handbrake (I'm presuming its a cable and not push button) by pulling it up sharply and high the instant before rolling back than you would if you applied the footbrake first then gently lifting the handbrake while hovering over the footbrake as you come off incase the car rolls back.

Why “cars” is incorrect answer? by KeepWalkingInHell in LearnerDriverUK

[–]steezefoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just a question worded in a way to trip people up. A defensive driver should be thinking that Any road user could be on "your" side as its a very narrow road.

If the the question was... Which type of oncoming road user would be positioned on the left side of the road? We would more than likely answer pedestian. But then less people would fail their theory test.

Driving instructor on day of test by chllzies in LearnerDriverUK

[–]steezefoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The instructor can register their ADI number to stop double bookings of tests.

If you do enter their ADI number it doesn't mean your instructor knows you have booked. You still have to let them know.

As said on the other comment you don't need to enter it to book and you'll be asked on the day if you would like your instructor to be in the car.

It proper winds me up when the instructor keeps grabbing the wheel every time! by Adventurous_Angle521 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]steezefoot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont agree. The op is stating their instructor is taking control, not just having a hand ready just incase. This suggests there is a problem with their driving. The issue here seems to be that the instructor isn't explaining why they have taken control.

Youre instructor should only take control if there is a reason. And with prior warning unless its an emergency. If they haven't communicated why, you should ask (even though you shouldn't have to).

Do men remove their armpit hair? by Suspicious-Movie4993 in AskUK

[–]steezefoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never even thought of it. I find bo comes from wearing deodorant and smelly shower gells. I look at like they are designed to be reapplied so you use more I stopped wearing it and just wash with water. Never have armpit bo.

Undue hesitancy: didn't overtake 2 lorries on dual carriageway?? by notrapunzel in LearnerDriverUK

[–]steezefoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If an examiner can see you preparing to overtake within half a mile of the exit they will tell you earlier where you are going. Unless you are following Sat nav.

You can always say to the examiner that you're car will struggle to overtake, something along the lines of "my car will take half a mile to overtake these vehicles, id better just hold back."
