Sorry guys I will start again.
I have auto lights on my BMax, and did so on my previous three motors, but I never used them.
The reason for this, sometime ago I was driving along and the car behind me kept flashing his headlights at me. I was really concerned that I had a fault to which he was trying to notify me. I slowed down inviting him to pass, which eventually he did without making any eye contact with me. It was late afternoon, perfect visibility, but I was driving along a road bordered by the occasional cluster of trees at no point requiring the use of headlights. This situation was triggering the following vehicle's auto headlight system, causing concern for all vehicles he was following, and also creating unnecessary wear and tear on his bulbs. If manufacturers really think this facility is aworthwhile accessory, why don't they introduce a system that allows the driver to fall asleep on motorways, to be awakened only when they reach their exit point.
