I have been for many decades and must by now have more than covered my annual subscriptions by using their recovery services (mostly whilst towing caravans and riding motorcycles).<br /><br />Regarding daytime running lights - my bleat is about those who think that they serve for twilight or bad visibility. THE REAR LAMPS DO NOT ACTIVATE WITH THE DAYTIME HEAD LAMPS, So you are "blind" to the rear. Always activate dipped beam in those conditions.Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-29018402687681369452019-10-09T16:05:39.562-07:002019-10-09T16:05:39.562-07:00I don't the the 'bright' headlight pro...I don't the the 'bright' headlight problem is LED's, Its those Xenon/hid ones....now THEY are bright! :)The Cheathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878573971727824942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-6257323607614973432019-10-09T13:56:39.184-07:002019-10-09T13:56:39.184-07:00I’m not fussy XXXXI’m not fussy XXXXJacqueline @ HOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06154045482594773377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-53967363140426418972019-10-09T13:47:35.167-07:002019-10-09T13:47:35.167-07:00In your own car?In your own car?Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-81503510727600615062019-10-09T13:46:37.680-07:002019-10-09T13:46:37.680-07:00I know but I still like them ....
