Can I ask the muppets who drive on the Motorway in heavy rain TO PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON!!!!!!!!!

POSTED BY: mikebike 4 months, 1 week ago

Yet again today in really bad rain on the motorway people were driving in the right hand lane at stupid speeds with no lights on. I do not wish to see your broken car and bodies on the road and I also wish for that not to happen to me so please for the sake of my life
PUT YOUR LIGHTS ON AND SLOW DOWN IN BAD WEATHER !!!!!!!!!!

Rant over better now

Whilst at it then, can i ask, that they also respect speed limits, esp when it's lowered due to men/women working in the road? Just cos the cameras are 2km apart doesn't mean, slow down for camera, speed up to next, slow down and so on.....

PS. fog lights are for when it's foggy. They don't look good, they're not big or clever. If a light is below the level of a car's bumper, it is generally regarded as a fog light, so please, turn them off

Yep, this does my head in too, the number of times I've seen people having to slam on their brakes because they couldn't see the lights of the car in front is frightening....

Thats why they mostly install them new average speed ones on motorways, which lets face are going to become more common on every major road in the next 10 years. Sit back and let the revenue pay for the cameras.

Sorry, my angst was more parochial.
Sick of being overtaken in the roadworks near me by HGV and other clowns.
At the mo we have some temp speed cameras and a 50mph restriction, alas, seems only where the cameras are

If the rain is really heavy I've noticed that some cars seem to disappear completely in the rain/surface spray, mostly metalic silver cars! An even better reason to get the lights on!!

What about all the chumps who sit in the middle lane even when they are not overtaking!! This really does my nut as this is a good reason why people get held up since they are reducing the motorway by a lane effectively.
