But thread success for Mk3 Berlingo drivers because they at least know that they don't need to fit them...

Oliver Day says you don't need them, as I said above, ALL the motoring organisations say different. I know who's advice I'd follow.

Taxater
Is one of the Motoring organisations that says different the AA?

Perhaps you'd like to be corrected as the information I have was confirmed on their web site.

Also I didn't say that you don't need them I said that "It is not a legal requirement to have deflectors." And I still stand by that.

Where is the link to your advice?

Headlamp converters, reflective vest, spare bulbs, breathalyser, warning triangle. Sounds like some countries are intending to inspect vehicles at the roadside.

Meanwhile, the wife's car could do with a service, so I think I'll take your advice and go on the lash instead.

Dave Beverley is too tight to spend a fiver extra on his continental holiday and would rather spend it on alcohol.

These are probably the same people who moan about continental lorry drivers not adhering to UK motoring laws.

Shakes head in disbelief and walks away..................

1) what argument, i thought this was a discussion forum, not the one or two minute argument room?

2) YEP - and i if can get the wife drunk .............  - why pay for something that isnt needed?

3) bit of a broad statement, re moaning about lorry drivers, what porn films have you been watching where men make such noises about their continental counterparts?

4) only you didnt did you, just couldnt let go, had to have another go .....

1/ Two or more people with differing points of view without appearing to have any common ground must surely constitute an argument.

2/ You can get the wife drunk on a fiver? It costs me a small fortune and she becomes a pain in the a***.

3/ Lorry driver porn? Ugh! A load of blokes (and women) without access to proper toilet and wash room facilities for days on end doing unmentionable things to each other in the cramped cabs of Volvos, no thanks.

4/ And another go.

And in case you were getting confused

Seems like the AA's left hand doesn't know what it's right hand's doing, no wonder people get confused.

Well I just bought 3 sets of beam benders off ebay the other day for the grand sum of £8.97, rather have a set stuck on the headlights just in case, the instructions are usually pretty clear (though did struggle with the squareish shaped variety one year).

Before we started to use Eurotunnel we always went on the Seacat Newhaven to Dieppe crossing. While you were waiting in the queue at Newhaven an 'official' in a hi-vis and with a clip board would approach your car and start 'checking' that you had all of the equipment needed when you arrived in France.

The list was all the 'must haves' and if you didn't have an item you'd be breaking the law and receive an on the spot fine. Needless to say gullible folks were frog marched to their kiosk and sold the missing bits of kit at huge mark ups.

Taxater's link to the AA shop is a good example of how this practice still continues. As if you then click the Compulsory equipment tips and guidelines you will find under item 10 that the AA say "The legal requirement is to ‘not dazzle oncoming drivers’ rather than specifically to adjust/convert the headlamp beam pattern."

I'd have no problem buying a 'beam bender' if my car needed them. However with head lamp adjusters built in many cars now don't need them.
