Driving home yesterday on the M3, late afternoon, through "fog".
Visibility was down to judging the motorways exit signs, approximately 1 mile, so I would say fogs are not needed, although many people would say otherwise.. 1 other driver even felt the urge to flash his fogs at me as he drove past. I assume I am correct, or am I missing something?

I suppose this design does support the (legitimate, imo) use of foglights to spot neighbours' cats lurking under cars or see the edges of very narrow rural roads, but unfortunately it doesn't discourage their use for 'cruisin' past McDonalds, yo'.

I'd support the use of fixed penalty notices to do that - the amount I saw last night whilst driving down from Scotland would have yielded enough revenue to put a dole bludger on the moon.
I wonder if I am the only person who just googled "Dole Bludger"... (someone what nervously due to being at work)
