Why is it when the visibility drops to around 50 metres folk still think they can be seen in their black and dark blue cars with side lights or no lights at all.

My pups and I have just been missed by a moronic female driving way too fast for the conditions without any lights at all.
I was crossing a road and she appeared from nowhere!!! (At this point you can insert your own expletives - I know I did.)

Added to that, why is it on clear days/nights the same idiots drive around with fog lights and driving lights blazing.

I get so confused.

Rant over. Back to feeding the hounds from hell!

And why do we drive on parkways, but park in driveways?

Sounds like you have our problem!

Kids walk in the road, cars park on footpaths and cyclists cannot make their minds up where they want to ride. In my day it was on the road but these days it seems that footpaths are the preferred cycle ways!

Still confused What a Face

In another couple of months when frosted up windscreens become the norm mornings and evenings , I''ll always see a few knobs who are too lazy to clear the frost away and scrape a sort of porthole to peer through. These idiots are driving around virtually blind but they still do it, hoping their cars heater will do the work they were too bloody lazy to do. Then there's the driver with the shagged out battery on his car who'll drive along without lights in a long line of commuter traffic to 'save' his battery. I regularly see this during the winter months coming home off night shift.

Here, the same doofuses clear a coffee can lid size hole in several inches of snow, then set out hoping that the wind will blow the rest off, then use the wipers to further clear the wind screen. Side windows and rear window still have the total overnight snowfall on them. Mad lol!
