When you see car behind forget to on their head lights

[KumarB]

some of them do it intentionally.probably their lights bulb is costly for them to use.

the most dangerous are those with ALL faulty brakelights especially those trailers and heavy dump trucks.

What do you do?

 

I usually try to indicate to the driver by using the 'twinkle twinkle star' hand signal, but 2 recent incidents is making me think twice.

 

The first time after indicating to the driver, the driver turn on the head lights, wind down his window and show me the finger. The second, which just happened, the driver kept flashing his high beam at me and tailgate me for a considerable distance.

 

Wrong to indicate driver he forgot to turn on his head lights?

Maybe can slow down if the road situation allows, let the car pass by you & then signal to him about the headlight. If not possible to do so, then just hope other road users will signal to him lor.

Got one time, I drove sideways and honk to warn a lady driver her tyre was totally flat. But kena angry stare. Her steering and car must have been vibrating hard with such a flat tyre but she seemed totally oblivious.

 

How the heck you drove sideways sia?

 

Haha...

 

Anyway, after reading through this thread then I found out the twinkle twinkle handsign can be interpreted as teh neh neh... I did that many times, no problems, guys n gals... Haha..

Car Mfg should make it standard,if the car is equiped with DRL,the back & licence plate also should light up,i have seen some driver thought their cars got DRL,so no need to switch on their lights,but they don't know,the car's rear is complete darkness...
