Morning Phoenix I'm ashamed to say I leave anything to do with the car to my husband. He's quite pedantic about that sort of stuff. What I'd like to add though is please please wear something bright at night. Even if it's just a scarf. I too travel on dark country roads and it's scary how many pedestrians I only see when I'm practically on top of them. moon

To check the lights on your cars? I have already seen lots of cars with either one headlight not working at all, or way out of alignment.

When possible I do tell the driver, the other evening the car behind me had only one working headlight. We were on a country lane with no other traffic, so I stopped, put my hazards on, jumped out and ran back to tell the driver. I found a terrified looking young lady (early twenties at a guess) who seemed to think she was about to be accosted! She did eventually wind her window down, so I explained why I had stopped.
