It is very seasonal and festive fog, I find.

I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

Next is knowing where to start....

The LexAr$e behind me driving in thick fog with just one sidelight and NO rear lights? Didnt apear to have indicators either.

The dozens of utter muppets driving with NO lights?

The BMW with no lights, metallic silver that pulls out in front of me (I had the spots on at the time, so close to 380W of forward facing lights on at the time) Forcing me to break hard and lock up on ice.

The people who, not having front fogs, decide that full beam is a suitable alternative.

yea i can relate to that evilgoat. i pulled out of a junction just on my way home and a silver car nearly ran into the side of me. and the nice person driving it started to rant at me for pulling out infront of him. so i had a little talk to him explaning the error of his way and informing him at silver cars in thick fog are invisable to the naked eye and some headlights would a good idea. thing was the little chav tryed to be a smart a@@e with his female whatever in the car. so it ended up with him face down on his bonnet in a arm lock. and me explaing to him again why its not a good idea to take a swing at someone who is a black belt one dan in Tae Kwon Do. :wink:

I've notice though when it;s foggy that the film of crud on the windscreen also become harder to see though.
