QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Dec 10 2012, 06:42 PM) 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

QUOTE (Darren @ Dec 10 2012, 05:55 PM) Really?
Any examples as I don't think I've received the ESP receiver yet. I think he was going in heavy on the irony.

Most cars don't have lights out warning.. EG My friends 61 plate Corsa SRI doesn't. Neither does my Mother's Toyboata.

QUOTE (Strafin @ Dec 11 2012, 09:11 PM) I saw a taxi nearly intentionally drive at someone today (about half five), by the roundabout near the Jobcentre. I'm pretty sure it had a Kenikab sticker on the side. Not all that relevant but I do think professional drivers and Taxi drivers are in a different league. Might I suggest you intend that they are in different leagues?

QUOTE (royston @ Dec 16 2012, 11:01 AM) Coming back to the original rant about traffic using the A339, a good deal of this is en route to Basingstoke after coming off the A34 north of Newbury because its a good deal shorter than going to ToT Hill or going all the way to Join the the A303 then driving east to Basingstoke. and who can blame them ? That's right - this, and the heavy traffic at Thatcham Level Crossing, is a result of the by-pass being built on the wrong side of Newbury.

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Dec 16 2012, 09:51 PM) I suspect cost to build was a greater concern than where it went. Correct. Financially (not environmentally) it was cheaper to go West. Money Talks!!
