I've noticed that a lot of drivers(at Kettering & Northampton garages)switch off the offside saloon lights during the hours of darkness as they reflect on the windscreen and hamper their view of the road.Is there any other areas where this is done? Do you mean near side lights rather than offside? I should think nearside. I turn them off on lates as a lot of our routes are down unlit NSL roads and the lasy thing you want is to see yourself staring back at you in the windscreen. Only bus I've found that doesn't have that problem is the Solos, which are great fun on the last two 17 journeys... Moz |

Moz Yes I see a lot of buses on unlit roads with the nearside lights off, on well lit roads it isn't really a problem. Nice route the 17  ! |

It only seems to be on double decker routes,they don't do it on Darts or Solos. Yep Darts and Solos there no glare nor is there on an E400 i find. Its just E200s and Esteems. The Esteems are even worse then the E200s, to the point they were actually banned from the 464, R5/R10 and R8 at night cause you really could not see anything. They do it on Tridents as well. |
