Filtering past a very long queue caused by idiots queing across a 'do not block' marking on road, blocking traffic that is then blocking them from turning right across the queue. Then reach the point where I can't pass the catch 22 roadblock and a cocky little kid in a fiesta purposefuly swerves out to block me. Then when traffic eventually moves the kid insists on pushing me out in to the road into then oncoming traffic further. NOt wanting to play his game I just tucked in behind him as the driver behind had the courtesy to hold back for me.

Then we all came to another queue at a red light just down the road, with me behind fiesta kid. Needless to say, I filtered past him and he shrank down very low in his seat when I passed!

That's because it's so effing difficult to change the bulbs on modern cars. If the manufacturers want to make it a 2 hour job to change the bulbs they should fit bulbs which last at least 50,000 hours.

£5 and Halfords change it for you . . . . I'd bet most people don't notice their headlight is out.
