Find answers to your legal question.





People kept flashing there lights at me this morning when it was dark and I was driving infront of them?

I checked my indicator lights and my normal lights, what could be the problem and if driving home to night and stopped by the police what would happen?

I checked to make sure my fog lights weren't on because the blue light wasn't there and my indicators seemed to be working fine, what could it be? If I was stopped tonight by the police what could happen because I can't fix it til then? Could I potentially cause an accident?

something is wrong on the back of your car. pull over get out and check all drivers should have some basic knowledge about how their car works<

Looking at your additional info, the only blue warning light on the dash is for headlight main beam - the rear fog light warning is orange. I would agree with the rest & suggest either it is your fog lights left on, or your brake lights are stuck on. Get out of the car, walk round the back & check.

Driving too slowly, perhaps?

check your rear lights


The Tank
Sometimes car rear lights develop an interesting earthing fault. The common symptom is that when the driving lights are on and you press the brake pedal one of the lights goes out. Sometimes all the lights will flash oddly when you operate the indicator.

The thing about this type of fault is that it only shows when you have the tail lights on. Operating the brakes or indicators during daylight will not show a fault.

You must get someone to stand behind the car and see what happens when you try Every Combination of lights.

You could have had your lights on full beam without realising, or you could have had your fog lights on (very annoying). Get someone to help you check your break and indicator lights at lunch time today, so that you have time to replace and bulbs that might have gone. If you've had one break light go, then more current will be passing through the other light and that is more likely to go as well.

Or it could be that as they were driving over bumps it looked like they were flashing you.

Most of the time if you are pulled over by the police and a bulb has gone, then they will simply let you know and say that you should get them changed as soon as possible.

Your rear fog lights are on and you were dazzling them.

I think that you turned your light switch round too far and accidentally put on your fog light. This can be really distracting for other road users. Check this out, if this not it then maybe you have a light out and they are letting you know.

This could be a number of problems such as your tires were flat but surely you would be able to find that out. Another reason why could be that your rear light weren't on or if they were on, one of them was broken.

Brake / reverse / rear fog lights?

Get someone to help you check your rear lights....... Was there a warning light on the dash?

Rear fog lights? What are those? Chances are your taillights weren't on even though your headlights were; that could be failed bulbs, a blown fuse, any number of causes. Get them checked.

It's easy to check your tail- and brake lights--I do it every chance I get. Use a plate glass store window, the chrome trim on the car behind you or something similar. If you can see them reflected there, you're OK.
