Twatz that drive around with fog lights (front or rear) on when it’s not foggy. Inconsiderate morons.

Also retards who drive and talk on mobile phones is another pet hate.... it's bloody dangerous and the ******s who do it have no respect/consideration for other people be them motorists or pedestrians. In my oppinion the fines are not enough and the police dont do a good enough job catching these tools. The stupid thing is you can get a half decent hands free kit for half the price of a fine!

The 'vague hint of mist' lights seem a popular option on cars at the mo!

People who drive in my boot. If I am doing the limit, and you are up my boot, your desire break the law and speed is not my problem.

You know thats not what i meant. By all means keep track of people and where there going, but dont let it annoy you.

The fact people notice these things note them to memory as an example that you can drive defensive for when it may happen again and then write those things on a forum hours later should be no critism of their driving; its a good thing.

Audi drivers wanting to lick my rear lights.

We are not the only ones with "problems" it would appear.

If you're going to correct people for their spelling/incorrect use of words, you should do a better job. He also said 'effect', which should have been 'affect'

Oh, there's a little bit of mist, although visibility must be at least a mile still, if not more.

Nevertheless, apparently ALL FOGLIGHTS MUST GO ON IMMEDIATELY, a few full beams seemingly aren't to be sniffed at either.

It was foggy yesterday when I drove home.
I put my fog lights on for the first time ever (my last car did not have any!).
I then turned them off again as they made almost no difference!

It's more so other people can see you, rather than you being able to see more.

Not sure how fog lights on the front help other people see me more

It enables people to see when they are about to be rear-ended

Which is exactly why it's only the rear fog light that is a legal requirement in the UK.

Comedy.

Every bugger has their foglights on at the moment, be it dark, raining, cold, misty, or Tuesday.

I just don't get it, it lights up about 3 metres in front of the car and they take a conscious effort in most cars to put them on.

PMKeates · 12 Dec 2012 at 21:38

It's handy when it gets mildly foggy with no inhibition of usable visibility and fog lights start to come on - nice bright idiot warning.

I don't have many motoring irritations but that dude who keeps posting his A1 is getting there.

Is he back!?

Clown · 12 Dec 2012 at 21:51

I don't understand. Isn't it the same car in the same place, every single time?

cheechm · 13 Dec 2012 at 00:38

Drove from London to Exeter at about midnight on the A3/M25/M3/A303 combination. Couldn't understand why in the "fog" on the A3/M3 where there was clearly about 500m visibility everyone's fog lights were on, and then why on the A303 where visibility was about 25m no one (I didn't bump into too many cars in all honesty) had them on.

Another irritation is salt gritters. I followed one yesterday on a dual carriageway because I had no desire to be splattered, however after about 10 miles I got bored. Ahhh
