Why do we have so much traffic in Newbury?? Because it is caught up in the rush to get out ....... the main reason is because the called this ring road the A339 when it should be a B road ensuring that through traffic avoids the town this must lay with Highways and our Goverment lucky they do not drive to Newbury or come shopping here.

What amazes me is the number of vehicles on the road with defective lights.

Manufacturers have also stopped fitting indicators on some of their vehicles.

I really do wonder what our traffic authorities ACTUALLY do sometimes. Surely, if they can put a mobile speed camera in a layby, they can record all those with defective lights, plus number plate. A simple warning in the post to get it sorted or take it off the road would go a long way.

I think they meant cars now have integrated light clusters, rather than a separate indicator. I must say I don't like this trend as it is not always that easy to see them in daylight.

i think nearly all cars have light out markers on them even my old vectra with 250000 miles still tell me if a bulb out, I once had a 82 ford granada even told me which bulb was out and even which door was not closed properly did not tell me how to drive but it did tell me if a fault wonderful car

Any car being used as a taxi has to have a range of warning lights, as professional drivers don't expect to have to do mundane things like check for themselves......
