OOV Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 No bubble burst. "it might be difficult to understand why red vehicles also have a higher crash risk. However, red vehicles have a 7% higher crash risk than safer colored cars. Red is a very vibrant color. However, red is used a lot on roads in road signs, traffic control devices, sirens, and brake lights. This might make it harder for other motorists to see the red vehicles with all of the surrounding red." Hahaha, ok. Good study. "Driving a darker coloured car can increase your crash risk, but that is nowhere near as influential a factor as your driving behaviour" The final paragraph of the second link eased my concerns (or it would've done, if I had any concerns to begin with) gregozedobe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my fingers I believed you from the beginning. What reason is there to doubt you? I don't make random assumptions that people are lying just because I don't like it. I never claimed you were lying or said I didn't believe you. Anyway it's just a difference of opinion. Its not like my car doesn't have DRL. Just if I switch to 0 they turn off. They're on when switch to auto. ToRnado_R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of misinformation on the internet so it's always good to follow up with reliable sources such as government websites!

Sent from my fingers You have to distinguish between a legal requirement for the manufacturers to fit the items as standard and a legal requirement to use them. BUT turning them off or altering their use from standard is a modification that would require the person's insurers to be notified of and I suspect they would not agree to this modification! I need not detail the ramifications otherwise. MOT-wise I recall that 2018 introduced the testing of DRL so vehicles due for an mot at a certain date in 2021 will be so tested. Just leave them as standard @OOV. Having noted the number plate - you are not THE R400 are you?

Booth11 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Drove it on fumes to the petrol station, filled up with V Power, then took it to have new trainers fitted. By the great lads at Lepsons Tyres (they commented on what a lovely wheel and colour silver Prets are, and I agree!). Went PS4S all round once again. Got 22k out of the outgoing PS4S so they’ve done very well wear wise. Need to scrub the newbie set in but they feel so good!

You can offset the Tyres & fitting against the £1490.00 Dealer Air Con service you’ve sidestepped.
