Another offensive 4 x 4 !! - meldrew
I use the word "offensive" in its adjectival mode as the driver was probably unaware of the situation.

Driving on the M6 heading North near Stoke last evening I saw bright lights some distance behind me. Not just bright, but of eyeball frying intensity. Strangely they appeared much higher off the ground than normal too. I mentioned this to my wife who shielded her eyes to investigate and pronounced that they were probably dipped according to the light pattern on the road as it got closer.

It was not an alien invader from another planet but a Porsche Cayenne. I can only assume that this lighting is legal but somewhere I sense a road rage incident waiting to happen.

Did the phrase ''I don't believe it'' spring to mind?

Could well have been another fool driving round with full beam on. I've seen a few this dark season - including a double decker bus, a Nissan Micra, and a VW Touran yesterday afternoon and it wasn't even dark.

Seen in the newspaper this weekend...
"For SUV read SAV, 'Sports Attack Vehicle'".
