I see a staggering number of road users with full-beam lights on hours 
before the daylight begins to go. I know some cars have automatic 
side-lights etc, (e.g. Volvos) but I really can't believe that all these 
blazing beacons are helpless automatics. Sometimes I feel I'm the only 
driver on the road without my headlights on, at 5 or 6pm in the summer. 
Ludicrous. And wasteful.

The other one is people driving around with one busted headlamp - it's 
really offputting, especialy on motorways etc cos they look like 
motorcycles. I don't understand how you can fail to notice that. And 
changing the bulb isn't exactly complicated. Laziness.
