Are you sure the side lights are not parking lights? Mind you, you'd think they'd turn back to dipped if the car was running and moving.
No, it's bizarre. Every setting is the lights being set to dipped, except sidelights, which is just sidelights. See, I'd have thought just the sidelights would be good enough for DRL, instead of dipped, therefore off, auto and sidelights would be sidelights (as DRL). I'm convinced the settings are mixed up.
Absolute nightmare trying to get out of West Swindon onto Mannington Roundabout this morning. I'm guessing the lights should've been on at rush hour but crapped out for some reason.
This brings me to my moment of genius that I feel I must inflict upon the council's budget. Speed bumps on roundabouts. Hear me out.
If the speed people drove around roundabouts was low, then you'd get more traffic on and off and the flow would be steady. You'd also have less twats who approach from the right at a high speed "because the left should give way".
I dont live there anymore, but when I did, all the lights along thamesdown drive used to drive me spare...if there was any syncing going on at all, I would swear they were synced to go red as soon as you arrived there from the previous red.....if you know what I mean.
They're hateful and annoy me so much I now just treat red as a give way and jump them. I think most of the lights just cycle with no reason for going red.
