You're not an F1 driver. You're sitting in a traffic jam waiting to join the M3 to Basingstoke, where you work as a junior IT admin.

He was probably heading back from Superkarts - kicked off as its amateurs only.

Especially the stupid ones which flash rapidly for the first few seconds of braking regardless of braking press or force. I can kind on understand that but under high speed emergency braking, but not while cruising to Asda.

They look dumb all of the time, just worse when they have a flash mode.

Seen lots of newish M cars with them. They look utterly wank.

Lots of people rocking them around here which is obviously important being 20mph speed limit across the entire borough.

Haven’t really been taking much notice of this. I’m guessing they have 4 brake lights? :lol:

They are obviously for the benefit of recumbent bike riders

They seem to have quickly fallen out of favour around here, haven't seen one in a while and I'm pretty much in the BMW wide-boy capital.
