Automatic Headlights - Fog - Idiots
42 Answers
I've done a couple of hundred miles on foggy motorways and A roads this week - most of the time it was bad enough to need my hi-intensity rears on for safety.
Yet there were dozens (hundreds?) of newish cars - top of the range models usually - with no rear lights on at all, and only 'running lights' at the front (if anything).
I was chuntering away at the idiocy of these people when I twigged the problem - my Audi didn't think it was dark enough in the bright, daylight fog to need any lights on at all - so I had switched them on manually.
I presume the idiots driving along in a misty shroud had forgotten (if they ever knew) where the light switch is and that they are legally responsible for using it in conditions of reduced visibility.
A growing problem as more car lighting systems are automated it seems.
