    You MUST use headlights when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves

      Cars should be wired so that it is impossible to drive with just sidelights on.

      I think "side lights" should be renamed "parking lights".

      Any more idiotic sweeping statements you'd like to make Barry O?

  2. leopardml2341

    Thinks that the ability to count should be included as part of the driving test. That way drivers would recognise that there are 3 lanes to a motorway AND that the SPEED LIMIT is 70mph.#

      Yeah, that's the *minimum* speed limit for some.

    Driving with fog lights on when not needed DOES NOT make you or your car look cool.

      Driving with no "high intensity" lights on in poor visibility DOES make your car difficult to see!

      You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves (see Rule 236). Law RVLR regs 25 & 27

       

      and the referenced rule (236) - same source...........

      236

      You MUST NOT use front or rear fog lights unless visibility is seriously reduced (see Rule 226) as they dazzle other road users and can obscure your brake lights. You MUST switch them off when visibility improves.

      Law RVLR regs 25 & 27

       

      My statement 'when not needed' assumed, perhaps rashly, familiarity with these rules.

      It also the case that the 'slow down' part of foggy weather is ignored!

    The world has gone mad.

    People apparently don't want a 'nanny state' when it comes to Covid-19; yet warnings are apparently necessary to protect some sensitive souls from an episode of Fawlty Towers.

      Cleese was surely taking the p1ss out of a certain type of English stereotype, with attitudes towards 'Johnny Foreigner' that were outdated even in the 1970s, in creating the character of 'The Major'.

      Too late now, but those cat/squirrel/dog repelling devices work a treat on youngsters.  Oldies can't hear them but the high frequency noises they make are really upsetting to those who can!

       

      Notices are useless, most of them can't read...
