I wish I was a policeman in a police car, then I would stop every car with only one headlight.
At this time of year when it is dark and often wet, at the best of times approaching headlamps can dazzle but when one light is not working, many cars seem to put their single working headlamp on full beam, so they can see better. Leaving me to brake when I cannot see.

Followed a new (68) panel van for around 6 miles country and town with no rear lights and ignored all attempts to flash him.
I wished the same at the time.

Once pulled level with a car when riding my motorbike, tapped on his window and shouted through his slightly open window he had no tail lights ......he wound his window down and thanked me.

In the past I have advised some drivers that they had a bulb out
Mostly the ladies said OH I'll get it fixed at it's MOT and when asked when that was some were months away

I agree the traffico's NEED to enforce this a bit more

Private hire cars are my pet hate. .... One light in the gutter and one spotting planes....
Do they use their lights to stop with rather than brake?

My pet hate is cracked or broken rear lights/brake lights that should be showing red to the rear but, in fact, show white light.

I find it very disconcerting and certainly wouldn’t drive my vehicle in that condition.

It's because the led lights are so bright the driver can think he's got his lights on. I followed a Police car about 2 years ago with no rear lights on and just the front led's on and tried to advise but totally ignored

It's the new cars/moho/trucks with LED running lights on and nothing else !! that bugs me ! that and the idiots driving around in town with spotlights on !! Police here last year had a blitz on them and caught over 100 in a few days.
More traffic cops needed on the streets !!

Its high intensity rear fog lights on with no fog

And missaligned headlights

The no rear lights really bugs me seems to be loads of them running round these days.

As others have said it's usually because they are fitted with front drl's and the dash lights come on with ignition.
Just goes to show that the new stuff they come out with to improve road safety often does more harm than good
