What no lights!

This chap turned up this morning, illegal or what !! God knows how far he came like that :open_mouth:


I got pulled by the police when driving a Ford Orion with no headlights. They drove past me and at first thought i had tinted the lights so much they were totally black so did a U turn. They got over it as it was daytime and i was only 1 mile from the scrapyard i was driving it to.

Its OK as long as its daytime.

he still has some left on the spoiler :laughing:

Maybe been to McElvaney Motors in Monaghan.Someone stole the lights out of 20 Scanias over night last Sunday.

Maybe Scanny lights are the latest ā€œmust haveā€.

Who the hell steals headlights off a lorry ffs :imp:

Lol, between the hours of sunrise and sunset, you donā€™t need headlights.

I said between the hours because these are actual official times and you can get done even if its daylight?

You might need indicators though :laughing:

Nope, dont need them either.

Arm signals suffice :wink:

Thats just a minor defect. Iā€™d have taken the fog lights off and scellotaped them in place till I got back to the yard.[emoji1] [emoji1]

Anybody wanna buy some Scania headlights? Very good prices. PM me.

I know for a fact that Merc Actros light units cost Ā£250 each so thatā€™s Ā£500 a pair so iā€™m guessing Scanny ones are similar, so maybe thatā€™s why.

From Hungary?

Head lights are no big deal to the average scania driver ,they have 10 million spotlights on their kelsa bars to compensate for their lack of vision :neutral_face:

Thatā€™s because their curtains cone half way round the windows so limits the daylight and vision

Ha, not quite. If stopped you wouldnā€™t go any further without headlights, daytime or not.

As for the Scanias, if they were Xenons as a lot seem to be fitted with now then youā€™re looking at well over Ā£1k a piece

My boss have removed the lights, he said the electricity bill was too much last year.

Can you Imagine the ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  drivers who think they can miss a walk round check. Gets to the first drop then notices he has no headlights. Would love to be privy to that phone call to the traffic office . I definitely checked that motor boss . They must have fallen out somewhere. Lol

Or a pull by DVSA. Wonder if the ā€œOh,they were there when I did my checks this morningā€ excuse would work? :laughing:
