I can only agree with all that has been said above, the trouble is, the Police don’t even enforce the law! The Highway Code should be a compulsory read for these people.   

114

You MUST NOT:

• use any lights in a way that would dazzle or cause discomfort to other road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders
• use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced
• you MUST switch them off when visibility improves to avoid dazzling other road users (see Rule 226)

In stationary queues of traffic, drivers should apply the parking brake and, once the following traffic has stopped, take their foot off the footbrake to deactivate the vehicle brake lights.  This will minimise glare to road users behind until the traffic moves again.

Law RVLR reg 30

 

Spot on…trouble is, how many of the millions of road users/drivers in the UK actually remember that ?

 

 

 

 Well I do for one! 

 

I also turn my headlights to sidelights if I’m sitting in traffic and not moving for a while, and also turn to side lights if parked on the wrong side of the road or even on the right side of the road!
