A moan/rant: People driving with 1 headlight

[blueball]

I detest people that sit in a queue in the dark with their foot on the brake instead of using the handbrake - I really don't appreciate staring into blindingly bright brake lights for ages. Next guy gets my torch in his rear view mirror!

If its an automatic then they will sit there with the foot on the brake, handbrake is somewhat fiddly after all.

And yes, I have an automatic.

They're probably driving automatics which are easier to use the brakes than have to shift to park each time. I'm sure you'd rather they lurch backwards at you through reverse though

On the other hand, I hate those jerks who shine torches in my rear view mirror in queues (j/k)

Can't believe some of these cars with headlights that are rediculous to keep in service. I've been lucky not to have a car that is that much of a pain in the arse.

My old '99 Nissan Primera GT LE with 133k miles is easy to work on.

3 hours to change a bulb though!! In that time I change front suspension on Primera (safely that is!! with Spring compressors).

Only little pain is accessibility to oil filter, it's near the top of the engine but it's a bit tight getting your hands round it. Engine block always bites me with a little burn. Suppose I could get a 3 fingered tool that just grabs the top of the filter and attaches to a rachet. But I've still never bothered.
