Re: Tree accident

I was curious because I've twice been along that road, both times heading east, once driving, the other time navigating. NSL, after sunset, seemingly reasonable road, quite likely raining. Sometimes difficult to spot what you're not expecting.

Re: Lighting...

Thought perhaps I should say when I turn rear fogs on or off ... if visibility is enough reduced, based on how well I can see the one ahead, and I can see nothing behind, I'll turn them on. If something catches up then, unless it's really bad, I'll turn them off, again based on how well I can see th...

Re: Lighting...

I've often wondered why rear fogs aren't tied into the speedo. Either have a 40mph limiter when they're on (...), or turn them off above that speed. If it's foggy enough to need them, you probably shouldn't be doing more than 40 anyway. In a motorway context I would expect to do it the other away a...

Re: Lighting...

automatic lights I find, when they're shining in my direction, they rather too often don't dip quickly enough. I mean, when they do dip it's very quick, but that the point at which they should dip can be well before that point at which they do. I've found that some oncoming headlights dip amazingly...

Re: Driving at Night

1. If you allowed yourself to drive faster as a consequence of the improved view from main beam then the moment you had to dip, by definition, you’d be driving too fast. I think this line of argument pre-supposes that the driver doesn't slow down for potential hazards and is using main beam always ...
