It an actual T-eye or one of the 'not as good' ones (not trying to blow my own trumphet, or be a snob but there is some real ****e on eBay ).
The real deal

I know about the chinese pap, hence why I've not bought one thus far but this one seemed a bargain compared to prices of elsewhere. (maplins didn't even have any in stock)
OMFG
Andy Monty isn't going to be pleased. He's just spent £250 on one from Maplin.
Good find there

£240 dont forget jon
also... where would i stand (with and without one of them cameras) when lastnight it was very dark and rainy and i come to pull out of a junction only to have to slam my brakes on because a guy in a black car with no lights on at all speeding!
What I was trying to say (was knackered at the time) was that a bulb that breaks while switched off will look different from one that breaks with an electrical current running though it. I'm pretty certain that after a nose to tail collision that involved a fatality, a Police Forensics Department proved that the brake lights of the car in front had been on at the time of the impact.Just to add to the Beard's post, if you rear end someone then the chances are their rear lights could be damaged in the process. Either that or they could argue that the impact caused the bulb filaments to break.
Also I'm fairly certain that a signalling bus pulling out has right of way so both you and the driver in front should've read the road ahead a little better
See my reply above.Tut tut.
Highway code rule 223
'Buses, coaches and trams. Give priority to these vehicles when you can do so safely, especially when they signal to pull away from stops. Look out for people getting off a bus or tram and crossing the road.'
Cheers

Surely if your past the stage where its not safe to stop to let them out, and have to slam your breaks on like they did...
Edit - As it says in the highway code...'when you can do safely'...from what OP says...doesn't sound very safe.
Rule 223 is just that; a rule not a law. If it were a law, it would contain the words: "Must" or "Must not."Hmmm that sounds more like a recommendation than a rule.... :chin:
The only thing better than hindsight is forward planning (or second sight)The OP says he nearly ran into the back of someone because their brake lights weren't working. He didn't say the bus pulled out causing everyone to brake suddenly. By reading the road ahead the OP would've seen the signalling bus before the person in front braked, and using foresight would've approached with caution knowing that there was a likelihood that the car in front of him would brake to let the bus out.
It could be me being tired, but the above doesn't make that much sence. You nearly rear end them?
nah they where tanking it down a road i was pulling out onto. it was pissing down at the time and really dark (road only lit on one side and there is a huge park on the other side so nothing to see the car against) i pulled out and had to hit the breaks because i thought i seen something which turned out to be this car :bang:
was behind this car for about a mile... flashed them a few times but he still never turned the lights on!
Hmmm, Well it lasted 43sec's before falling over. Probably is power hungry and only got half screen shoot of shakes
But all in all not a bad attempt. I did try similar with my N95 before I decided to get the real thing
I used an actual phon cradle for my N95, but the bloody retaining arms kept hitting to Rec/Stop button when I went over bumpy parts of the road etc
