A local colloquialism I presume Another one that grates is parents opening the door wide open into the road whilst trying to get their child in/out of the child seat.

So I switched my front fogs on so I looked like a car again. It wasn't foggy, but I wanted other road users to know I was W-I-D-E for safety purposes, until I could replace the headlamp bulb. I just got loads of people flashing their fogs at me to get me to turn mine off. I dunno, I thought I was being safe.

It doesn't grate as much if only because I have to do it as well, for our lass (who is disabled) as well as the kids. It's a sort of what else can you do situation.
Fair Point Count I have Children as well but I think getting them out onto the pavement safely, although inconvenient at times, is a lot better than the parent/child getting hit by a passing motorist, and please what is a doylem?

Anyone who drives with a head- or taillight out should be shot in the cock clumsily.
