That certainly is a lot of u-turns
Is this common with how the roads are laied out in your area? Wasn't just your u-turn in your descrip there that leads us thinking taking u-turns might be common there
Yes, there are a lot of idiots on the road. I'm torn whether it was worse in Maine with many ol ladies in friggin tanks or here, where we have some of the same stupid drivers combined with one of the worst records in the country for peeps getting caught driving under the influence of alchohol. It is an annoyance, but be safe.
Oh and here, it's under the age of 25 that the insurance rates are heightened... Unfortunately a brother of mind ended up hitting someone who was backing out of his driveway and didn't look behind him to see what was there. As the other guy was older (and well the other guy was also loaded and a bit well off, able to hire the high powered attorneies and what not), the other guy ended up getting believed as he ended up backing into my brother
And yeah, no lights...that would change things a bit
It's not usual that they should all go out at the same time though (don't think I've ever seen that). Well, except for the movies perhaps where a cop stopped someone and was like "I'm going to have to right you up for a busted tail light"
the guy: "What tail light?"
cop swings baseball bat at it "that tail light"
cop swings again "and what about this one"
Outside of said movie... Of course when one light fails, one should get it fixed.
If one fails, blinckers one could use hand signals (if they have one fail), same with stopping (if push came to shove and it was light enough for peeps to see). Nothing for backing up though, and not everyone necessarily knows hand signals.
