Last night, I noticed while driving for just five minutes, five cars that had only one headlight working. As an experiment, on the way to work this morning, I counted the cars I saw with just one headlight working, and was absolutely amazed to count them over a 66-minute period. 55! This is absolutely criminal. On the return, I counted 40.
These figures exclude all the cars with one headlight working, but pointing in the wrong direction.
Once upon a time, drivers felt obliged to give a shit, and in turn, the police were interested in maintaining standards on the road. These days, no fucker seems to worry about driving a defective car at night, and the police are too busy trying to catch those speeding at the expense of all other levels of input.
The only benefit of this phenomenon is that counting defective headlights at least relieves the boredom of a testing journey.
