As the night are getting lighter I've noticed an increase in numpties in cars without their lights on.

I know when you left work it was light......but it's dark now so get your fu*king lights on!!

I was even driving up the M1 on Monday night and 4x4 ninja went flying past me. It's bad enough with non lit up cyclists, but when your doing a "life saver" in the dark, you're really only looking for the light on the car. If they;re not on what chance have you got!?!?!?!?

    I was overtaken by a woman texting last night. It crossed my mind to bang on her window when I caught up with her, but I thought what's the point.

    It's very common at this time of year. They've had three months getting used to it being dark when they set out and can't cope with the concept of it getting dark after they've set out.

    And they bang on about cyclist without lights...

    You mean like screaming "Put that Feckin' phone down' as you pass them in traffic?

    I was nearly hit by one last night, crossing my road. Some idiot entered my road the wrong way (it's a one way street) at speed with no lights on at about 8ish, narrowly missing me, screeched to a halt, executed a 5 point turn, and parked in a loading bay for 5 mins whilst he went to the corner shop :shock: All to save approximately 400-500 yards by not going round the block, and people have the nerve to complain about cyclists.
    pain is temporary, the glory of beating your mates to the top of the hill lasts forever.....................
