Cars that are on the road that shouldn't be....
« on: June 19, 2015, 03:03:43 pm »
So as the titles says, i keep seeing cars that shouldn't be on the road.
All brake lights out or broken shocks, so u can see the wheel bouncing like a jelly... loads of things that make the car unsafe on the road.

What is the best course of action? If i contact the police or traffic police? would they really do any thing ?

It really annoys me when i spend time and money keeping my car nice and more than safe and these people are driving around in cars that shouldn't be on the road !

Rant over.....

I know exactly what you mean, I take the time and expense to maintain my car as well as I can and then you see these sh*t buckets driving around with apparently no consequence, I've seen police cars in perfect view of them and do nothing. Yet if you speed slightly in a perfectly maintained car they penalise you because its 'dangerous'.

I bet my car is safer in every single way at 100mph that a similarly aged poorly maintained rover/ Nissan/ ford/ vaxhaull or anything French. I know I've used your rant to segway into my own speeding related one but I fancy writing down some of my qaurells with the way 'road safety' is enforced.

I see a lot of bald tyres. Typically women drivers as the vast majority just get in the car and drive it until it breaks or an MOT man tells them it's a death trap  :stupid:

Think I might have to get a car cam and report them.
It really annoys me, and yes I agree that if u do a little over the limit they come down on you like a tonne of bricks.

It only takes a minute to check lights and tyres every month. Use the reflection from the car behind to check lights from in side the car.

Quite often see Fords with no brake lights or only one of three working. I was also once behind a Rover 25 that only had a single functioning bulb in the centre brake cluster as its brake light!

Ive seen a few Peugeot 206's where the brake light is constantly on and when they brake it goes off!  Really dangerous.
