Not recommended but if a light fails while on the journey then there would be no option. I suppose, if you were a member, that you could call out your breakdown organisation such as RAC, AA or Green Flag as you would technically be broken down as to move knowing that you have a defective light would be illegal. If it is the nearside light that was defective you might just get away with it if pushed. Have a happy and blessed Christmas.

When I was a young girl, it would make a change to see a whole, complete car in full working order - people just didn't have the money! I have done in my youth, I've also driven with a door missing, windscreen wipers missing, and with flat tyres.
Nowadays, money is not so tight and the laws are tighter, so it's strictly by the book for me now!

No, I keep spare bulbs in the car, and the appropriate tools to pop the lights out. I would never want to get stopped for having a light out.
If one goes it puts the other under pressure too, so they are more likely to blow. So that's why I carry them around, also an old bit of carpet, a shovel, and water, be prepared!
for possible mud/snow etc, water is for the car.

Every night.
But, that's the way my motorcycle is built.
It's easy to tell the difference between a motorcycle and a broken car once you know how. Most motorcycles have a marker light on each side. Just like other vehicles.

i have done in the past although i was not aware of doing so until i was pulled over by the police. I must say i would do so again should there be an emergency that required me to drive at night.

I have done, but when I have noticed I have only 1 working I replace it from the spare set I keep in the boot.

Only if it had just gone out or, I was going to the parts store for a new one.

A lot of drivers do, my hubby was commenting on it just the other day.
I wonder if the drivers are aware that they look like a motorcycle approaching

Nope, been a fire fighter too long and these kind of things are just dangerous on the road!

its illegal and it makes it look like its a motorbike coming towards you so you might not position your car correctly and cause an accident. if i see one headlight coming towards me at night, i always think it might be a car not a bike and position accordingly
