Cars that are driving on the roads ( night/darkness) with a headlight or a tailight or a brakelight not working in my area Sheffield is almost at epidemic levels,old cars,newish cars,private hire taxis are these drivers not aware or just plain ignorant,whats wrong with checking all your lights are working at least weekly is not too demanding a job and most newish cars have bulb failure dash warnings. Is there a shortage of bulbs or have they become too expensive to buy or too hard to replace, I flash every driver i see,i wonder what they think.
The answer to that question is quite an easy one, to replace a headlamp bulb on many modern cars can be a front bumper off and headlamp removed, this is well beyond the scope of the average driver ….and if a main dealer job it will cost a few hours labour…people won’t spend the money !
