It would appear from observation that the drivers of said vehicles seem totally oblivious to the fact that they cannot be seen from behind and present a real danger on the road. The old adage that I was taught was to see and more importantly be seen. Maybe it's just me being a grumpy old fart.

Let's face it the people that bring in a lot of these new rules have probably never driven thousands of miles for over 50 years and just sit on a computer to decide. While I am on here I hope that I am not the only person to be blinded by modern car lights at night ? I know that some people don't know how to dip their lights (or the auto dip is set wrong) and even if they do dip them they are still too bright or high or both. Yes I am a grumpy old fart !
