Never had an indicator bulb blow. The yellow coating flakes off them long before that. >:(

my hubby hate people who cant be bothered to use their indicators.

lol the thing is if you indicator bulb goes the indicator bulb in the car on the dash will flash faster to indicate that the bulb has gone.

It really annoys me.  If one of my bulbs goes, I know immediately - the car tells me.  Most modern cars do tell you one way or another.  I always fix the problem as soon as possible - always within 24 hours.  

From the number of cars I see with one headlight, either headlight bulbs have an MTBF of 10 days, or I'm the only one who ever bothers to check my car.

A lot of people carnt be bothered to replace blown bulbs....

The driver i was renting a merc out to.....had a blown headlight (and if he couldnt spot that, a warning would have been up on the dash!) for quite a few months....he only phoned me up to tell me when both bulbs had blown and he didnt have any headlights!  ::)

He only had to bring it to me to have the bulb/s changed, i paid for them!!

And i saw him parked up the other week (a pug 807 now) with a blown headlight, i wonder how long it will be before the other bulb blows and he does summat about it  ::)

Have often flashed people who have not one...but two broken brake light bulbs or faulty brake pedal switches and 9 out of ten of them wont stop.... mainly cause they have cut me up.
Rang a decorators number on his van once, told him he had no brake lights he was ever so grateful, till i let rip about the fact he had cut me up and if i hadnt braked he would have had more than broken brake lights  he would have had a 40ft coach up his arris!

I agree  :y

I was following several cars the other day on a dual carrageway that had rear fogs on.....it was slightly misty..we were all doing 70mph.....my thoughts were....'if were doing this speed safely.....theres certainly no need to have fog lights on'  >:(

P.S. thats the clean version of what i was thinking  ::) ;D ;D

Was behind a Audi A4 tonight 02 plate. Waited for him to go past before I pulled out, he had front fogs on, no fog!
Also his rear fogs were on when I got behind him and also his brake lights didn't work.
How long has he been driving like that, especially with no brake lights.
