Cinnamon Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I have been amazed this foggy morning on the amount of people driving,still quite fast in some cases,with no lights on. I flashed one woman,as I truly didn't see her until she was on top of me,& she made a rude hand gesture back Another was driving along with no lights,& yabbering away on her phone,held in her hand. Madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 It never ceases to amaze me either Sarah. Our roads are really icy this morning too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Same here,& the fog was freezing onto my windscreen until the heaters got really warm too. Nasty driving conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 We had freezing fog all day here yesterday. I was glad the only trip I had to make in the car was just a short one to the vets. I saw enough idiots on the roads in that short space of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 You are right. Foggy and icy weather seems to bring out the worse in drivers. I saw drivers with no lights on, drivers going too fast. I would ban fog lights though - most drivers don't know how to use them. My car has automatic headlights that don't come on when it is foggy. I did remember to put them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I always think to myself, it's better to arrive late that never arrive at all! I take it steady even if i'm in one of the Landys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I guestured to a few drivers to remind them to turn on their lights, and they did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Just back from a trip to Reading. On a 15 minute journey I flashed 18 cars with no lights on And bear in mind that I am in the countryside,so when its foggy,its darn foggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 The past 3 mornings, I have left for work around 4am and seen 4 major accidents on the same stretch of dual carriageway. People just don't know when to use fog lights! One tip, if it is foggy, put them on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Use fog lights when visibility is less than 100 metres, you must turn off your fog lights when visibility improves. (can you tell I have been revising for my theory test ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(can you tell I have been revising for my theory test ) Well done Fred. Good luck with the test - when will you be doing it? Fog lights are a particular bug bear of mine. I find it annoying driving behind someone for miles on end who has their fog lights on. If you can see a car behind you you don't need your fog lights on. When it is not foggy the next day you can switch them off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 NOTHING more annoying than left on foggers Howeve r that has to be better than no lights on in the fog at all,not even headlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I so agree about the fog lights! and has anyone else noticed how many people drive in the dark with full beam on? I am constantly virtually blinded by idiots who dont dip their lights - how come I can manage to dip mine because I can see that they are round the corner, when they cant see me?? probably because their lights are on full beam, they cant see anything else . even my kids complain about it... and another thing (I'm on a roll here!) - round here we seem to have hundreds of drivers who only have one headlight working properly... really dangerous.
