My pet hates!!! What yours ???? Car related - Page 17

First hate, the 'one headlight wonders' - it's an MoT failure, so why not replace it straightaway? (They can't ALL have just blown....)

Second, not really a hate, just frustrating - I'm happily driving along in the JZR 3 wheeler on a dual carriageway or Mway, I come up behind another vehicle, and want to overtake.

But then a family car comes up alongside me, slows down so that the passenger can take a photo, effectively boxing me in. What to do? Grit my teeth, smile and give them a wave (a polite one...)

Those lads, having spent money and time fitting funcy headlights, 'lexus' rear lights, LEDs all over the place...

... can't be ar$ed changing a blown bulb anywhere.
