Re: Pet Peeves?

I have adblock. Maybe I need to update my filters but there are certain sites where they've upped their game and they slip through.

Then on my phone it's different again.

Re: Pet Peeves?

I know a similar left filter light, I think it only provides the separate left turn signal during rush hour week days.

Re: Pet Peeves?

I think they usually have sensors in the road that detect your car as it approaches the red light and starts the change to green, particularly if you're on the minor road crossing the major.

Re: Pet Peeves?

Most automatics don't even have a handbrake, just an e-brake. I've used mine maybe once and almost couldn't workout how to turn it off (pushed it but the light stayed on).

Re: Pet Peeves?

This was a weird concept to me, buying ice at the store. We have a tray full of ice in the freezer enough for the party yet I have to go and make a special trip to the store to get three bags.
