This. Do a fair bit of driving for work and the amount of people who’s indicators must be broke is ridiculous.

Boils my piss.

In many cases , good looks especially the ev / hybrids of late . Mind I cite a deep red Alfa Romeo Guila as exception to this rule . King Arthur couldn't pull me out of it  if I owned one

There weren't 100% of cars with their lights on this afternoon

Black may totally black , rain lashing down (double wipers barely coping) and water covering entire carriageway in Hatfield and in places right through to just short of Edenthorpe and STILL there were at least 10 cars with not even sidelights on

We need Florida rule Wipers on Lights ON

Wheels -  if you park up on Liverpool
We used to travel over there for Eurooean Cup games back in the day. Parked up on some waste land little scouser comes up
 look after your car mister
 No thanks
Only 50p
No thanks
There'll be no wheels on it when you come back
Here's a pound get your mates round.
Sure enough when we got back same little lad with 5 or 6 youngsters still there guarding, other cars parked up hadn't paid wing mirrors missing, tyres flat, scratched paintwork.
Best pound I've spent

Steering column mounted gear levers.

In fact gear levers themselves almost nowadays.
