FLY2 10,109 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Which numb nut came up with the idea of switching off the engine when waiting at traffic lights. Three bloody times this week I've been stuck because some gullible twot couldn't restart their car. Stockhill Lane / Nuttall Rd junction, David Lane / Vernon Rd level crossing and Toton Lane / Swiney Way. Three busy junctions. Totally irresponsible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,514 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Some cars are made that way now ...... including my husband's, which is almost 3 years old. When you take your foot off the accelerator and put foot on brake pedal at traffic lights the engine cuts out and starts up again when you take your foot off the brake.

FLY2 10,109 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I think these three were older cars driven by simpletons thinking they were saving the planet. One old guy I helped push out of the way said it was good for the environment . So's euthanasia said I 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 That puts a lot of wear on an engine, that's why big rig drivers like to keep their engines running after starting them up...Most wear to an engine is at starting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 My problem is with the dozy b-ggers who nod off at the lights, especially in the outside lane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
