Had the displeasure of meeting one of these last winter, was so bright traffic had to slow right down due to the dazzle.

Mentioned it to him one night and he just laughed it off, saying "it's working then?"

Next night I met him on the same road and gave him full beam in the cage, looked in the mirror as I went past and saw his tail light disappearing down the verge.

Funnily enough, the light seem to be adjusted a little better when I next saw him.

Health and safety zealots at work deciding that it's too dangerous to have hot water coming out of the taps at work. All hot taps are now to be limited to 37*C before someone burns themselves - these are mixer taps and everyone seemed to be able to use the taps safely before!

Same dude blinding everyone again tonight. Also, tractors not pulling in to let the mile long queue of cars pass.
