I don't know whether age has anything to do with it (although it's difficult to tell how old somebody is when they've got a lid on), but my son got pulled over when he was driving his mum's Smart car through Milton Keynes. He got a producer and a real dressing down from a very snotty and sarcastic PC (his mum was in the passenger seat at the time). He wasn't speeding or anything. His crime? Well, despite it being a clear sunny day, my wifes's Smart is equipped with a 'light pack' (didn't really want it, it just came with the car they had in stock). The 'light pack' makes the Smart think it's a Volvo and switches the dipped beam on as soon as you start driving. Apparently, one of the headlamp bulbs was out - funnily enough it was OK when they got home. |
