    Getting past a joke...fog on way to work, fog on way home, car drivers seem to have lost the ability to drive coherently as well.

    I thought lights...like indicators....had become really crazy-expensive optional extras.

    I thought they only made silver/grey cars these days anyhow.
    my car driving buddy says that if he uses his indicators his mpg goes down so none of them bother!
    :rolleyes:

    Strangely, I feel more comfortable on the bike in the fog than I do in the car. Is it a situational awareness thing?

    Three people this morning, in the fog, flashed me because I was driving with fog lights on.........

    I absolutely hate riding in fog and will not go out in it if it can be avoided. I don't much like it in the car either, not because I can't see but because every other bugger on the road either turns into a 90 year old and pootles along at 12 mph or takes the near zero visability as a challenge rather than a hinderance and gets a heavy right foot.

    I hope it's not foggy round my way tomorrow as I have to go out on the bike.

    No fog here today, which is a shame. Now we can see how miserable it is.

    True. Just that most of it's under water at the moment.
