Question for Audi Drivers?
Discussion
This comes from a second day of difficult driving conditions on the motorway.
M62 on Sunday across Saddleworth in very thick fog and today on the M6 south near Preston.
I appreciate that these new Audi's look great with the LED lights on the front and on the M62 on Sunday they looked great on an R8 as it came up behind me, the lights worked suprisingly well in fog.
Here's the problem though, you seem to be able to drive with your front lights on but your tail lights off??? How is it possible for a car to be allowed to work like that?
Don't get me wrong, I love Audi's but on both motorways I was passed by a stream of A5's and a couple of R8's with lights on at the front and off at the back.
On the M62 this caused a very near miss when the Audi S5 in question passed me, a car followed a little bit behind but as the A5 began to disappear into the fog it braked, the following driver swerved out of reaction as the brakelights appeared out of nowhere.
Please Audi drivers, I don't know how it works on your dash etc but please turn on your backlights when the weather is bad, I am not having a go but I did notice it alot.

The LEDs, as "daytime running lights" are front only. I would guess that people are assuming that, because they have these, they don't need to switch their headlights on to be seen (rather than to see). They dim when the headlights are on (or on one side when the indicators are used so that they don't mask the light).

This.I don't use the daytime running lights at all on mine, nor do I depend on the auto lights to come on in poor conditions, as I'm never sure if they're on or not.
A bit scary maybe, but I use that old fashioned thing which everyone used to have to use: Common sense.
