    My love affair with Betsy's Bridgestones has come to an end. It's almost impossible to get the power down when accelerating off one of those stupidly short slip roads onto the A1 or when trying to beat a Scheissewagen off the line. They have to go.

    I'm with you that the rear lights should be on with the front DRLs too. I get very annoyed with fellow motorists who assume that because their front DRLs are on, they are somehow magically visible from the rear too. This is an incredibly badly worded post, but I think you'll get what I'm on about.

    Hanging is too good for some people.

    They don't come on when it's dark either.

    That was in daylight, I'll let you know what happens in the dark shortly!

    Betsy's rear lights do not come on when she's unlocked.

    I would have thought that used EVs would be flying out of dealerships, what with EVs being the answer to everything and all that.....? https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=2020026

    I'll see what Betsy's do before I go to work.
  11. Mincey
    I'll second that. AAWireless works flawlessly.

    Third vote for Speed Camera ahead.

    Many thanks for that - I will leave them in the cupboard!

    Prompted by the thread highlighting those dastardly ES300h drivers going around at night dazzling on-comers with their bright headlights, I was wondering whether polarised night vision glasses are worth investigation? Here's an example from Amazon (other online retailers are available). I've got a pair of Oakley skiing glasses which I bought back in 2000 lurking in a cupboard - would these work in the same way? I might look a bit of a Berkshire wearing them but if they were to cut down on glare then I'm sure that I could live with that. Over to you, my esteemed online chums - do you have any thoughts?

    The company I used to work for has now got a Hydrogen division.

    I love Betsy. She does everything I ask of her with aplomb.

    I'm surprised their legal team haven't jumped on that!

    I may be wrong but doesn't the blue light indicate that the adaptive system is operating (as opposed to switched on and ready). I've never witnessed the system being as bright when in operation as when the main beam is switched on pulling the stalk towards the wheel.

    Betsy's in the mid 40's at the moment. I'm sure it could be higher than that but there are Scheissewagens to be had on the A1 between Huntingdon and Peterborough.

    I've been flashed once when I've had the adaptive system on. The oncoming driver was lucky that Betsy hadn't got her main beam on, otherwise his retinas would still be burning. The other day we were pootling along an A road behind a white van. For some reason, the adaptive system kicked in and flashed the van. I quickly switched the system off because the van had been displaying some rather odd behaviour in the run up to the incident and I thought discretion was the better part of a good kicking.

    They are not heated sadly.

    EVs are just an environmental ticking time bomb.
  23. Mincey
    Wise words.

    That's the price for being Woke. Once the government cuts BIK for EVs and starts slapping on taxes and tariffs, EVs will soon lose their shine, mark my words.

    An old chum of mine, who I'll not name, did something similar in an old Rover SD1 he ran for a while. In addition to this windscreen washer japery, he also designed something to squirt diesel onto the exhaust which would envelop all following motorists in a cloud of foul smoke.
