RE: Trying to help fellow drivers out ...
Yeah, I know it was the patrol, but I didn't want to get anybody jammed up. Since Ithink PenDot sends the registration forms out, I'm sure they have the means to send a friendly letter out to whoever has a defective light. I didn't wanna involve the po-po, especially the "Staties". They usually have a hard on for enforcing the law.

I agree that it would be a lost cause, but it is refreshing to hear of someone who cares what goes of outside of their own little world. I tapped my horn once to let the teenagers in front of me at a light know that they left the gas station with their gas cap on the trunk and was greeted with two middle fingers. Felt good running over it.

Actuall it is the highway patrol that is not doing their job (imagine that). Even if it is just givingwarnings for a blown tail light, head light or no trailer lights. It is their job to enforce the laws of the road, not the DOT.

That Harley thing kinda hit home a bit.
For whatever reason, my year scoot blows tailights all of the time. I ride with a spare in my bag at all times as well as a screwdriver. It's not uncommon for it to work when you left, but then from the vibration to pull the element apart. I've tried the heavy duty / multiple element bulbs to no avail. I bet I replaced about 3 last year alone.

Do they make LED bulbs that would fit?
They might last longer.
Or, is that too ricey?

I'm thinking about stacking some bricks under your axles and letting the air out of your tires and stealing them. They look really nice, and I think I want to steal them !!
Do it!

I've many times thought of having a mid size sheet of card board with a special message such as
"YOU'RE AN IDIOT " or something of that nature. Certainly many of ya'll see some bone headed acts of idiocy out there. Why not have a few other message boards such as "check your tires", or "check your tailights". It wouldn't seem to be hard to just pull up next to them, roll down your window, maybe honk and flash the sign.
This method has proven to work down here during Mardi Gras, with the "show your ****" sign!!
