    As far as I am concerned, irrespective of the law using the handbrake after dark is just a matter on common courtesy.

    I agree, Vulcan, and can’t understand the alternative attitude.

    Not aware of it on any modern cars but my 1973 Triumph stag has a resistor device in the rear lighting circuit to reduce the intensity of the Stop lights and rear Indicators when the lights are on. 

    Use to cause a slight issue with MOT's before it became exempt cool

    'Whilst on the subject,why do some drivers make the effort to turn on side (parking) lights but are unable to turn on their headlights?????'

    I do hope  you are not suggesting that you cannot see a light at night but are still driving?

    After all if sidelights are visible then main lights are only for the driver to see where he is going, surely you should be able to see them (sidelights) if your eyesight is adequate,

    You have missed the point completely, the very act of switching on your sidelights means that you have acknowledged that they are required due to reduced visibility and in that situation the law requires that dipped headlights are used on any road without street lighting or a speed limit greater than 30mph.
