The Ramble

When was the last time you checked your brake lights were working? This week? This month? Never?

I can’t believe the number of cars driving around with one, two or even all three lights not working. Many of these I see daily, dropping of their children at school in a morning. You’d think that the cost of a replacement bulb would be worth the added safety this small item provides to the occupants.
I’ve a feeling this is indicative of the way that people view their cars these days – more of a domestic white good than a complex machine that needs regular checking. I’m guessing many of these non-illuminated drivers probably don’t bother checking their tyre tread levels probably only changing them when the MOT mechanic dictates.
