NB the couples come in many guises
Red Squirrel Apr 2016 9:17am, 12 Apr 2016 19,087 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel The horribly busy roads of Bristol. It's like every household has bought another car in the last couple of months. There are a lot of angry motorists too, who aren't prepared to stop at zebra crossings and the pavements are clogged with vehicles parking. It's reached crisis point. One thing that really gets my goat is that there's no respite from the vrooming and swishing of vehicles. All f**kin' day.

If slightly reduced then I agree, but sometimes the spray on motorways is as thick as fog and easily reduced to <100m visibility: Highway code: Driving in adverse weather conditions. 226 You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced, generally when you cannot see for more than 100 metres (328 feet). You may also use front or rear fog lights but you MUST switch them off when visibility improves (see Rule 236). Law RVLR regs 25 & 27
