Yeah that was my concern. I know all your vehicles will be maintained to a very high standard but its the dickhead behind you with crap brakes in freezing fog that's the worry.

I wish they would do something about blinding headlights and spotlights, cannot understand how so many get through the mot as they appear to not be dipped properly in many cases.

I agree with that. They seem to be amazing for the drivers as they can see prefectly but for the guys heading towards them its blinding. Unsure how its not been sorted out and how the old bill can allow it
