Yep, noticed a hell of a lot of that this morning from herne bay to sheppey, and then locally on the island through the rest of the day.
The more worrying thing is the amount of mouth breathers that had no lights on at all, invariably in a dull coloured vehicle too so they blend into the fog / greyness...

I was just about to say that, usually find a grey car and no lights. The more worrying thing is the amount of mouth breathers that had no lights on at all, invariably in a dull coloured vehicle too so they blend into the fog / greyness...

Well if you have auto headlights and they aren't on automatically then what's the issue, if they aren't on and it's foggy then they don't need to be on
Er, because they use a light sensor to determine when it's dark or not. Unbelievable I know but it can be foggy during the day which means a driver still requires a small part of brain power to work out it's thick fog and to put their lights on.Heavy fog in Newcastle, it didn't clear until 11am where I live and stayed so grey and rainy it didn't look like the sun had really come up. I didn't see a single foglight on the way to work, even though visibility was well below 100m in places, but I bet on a clear night they'll all have their foglights on, especially after the clocks go back.
After all, foglights are made for driving home from work at 5pm on dark, but otherwise clear, dry nights aren't they?

The other thing I noticed was the 20mph brigade, any slightly inclement weather and 20 is their default speed even on the NSL we were on.....brilliant After all, foglights are made for driving home from work at 5pm on dark, but otherwise clear, dry nights aren't they?

Not the lack of lights, or people driving along hours after with their fog lights still on... Ive seen several people driving with their main beam on. How f
king stupid do you have to be to do that in thick fog
