I fully appreciate what you are saying Mat - I am not a fan of the auto light systems because I fell foul of it myself - got flashed so many times I thought I was famous.

The auto dimming rear mirror is great though - then you don't forget to flick it back up and miss the fact that the Rozzers are catching you up.
