F - O - G lights

It's been so long since I updated my blog I had almost forgotten about it entirely.

I have decided to strike out in a new direction.

Rather than bore people with the mundaneness of my daily life I thought instead to capitalise on the cathartic qualities of venting my spleen at all the idiots I am forced to share this spinning lump of rock with.

Of course, I do not expect the target of these rants to either read nor change their idiocy, but if in reading this it raises a few chuckles, everyone's a winner. Maybe it will even be like the tiny pebbles that start an avalanche, and we will all be swept up in a wave of common-sense.......hmm, probably not.

First topic:- Fog lights.

As is generally the case with such observations, I am often left puzzled that these things need to be said at all. I, of course, give people too much credit, for there are a countless number of people who clearly have less sense than they were born with.

Notice the first two pictures show cars in the fog, correctly using their fog lights.

Whereas the second two pictures show cars NOT in the fog, but also USING their fog lights.

Notice how the cars in the fog are made more noticeable by the use of their fog lights.

Notice also how the fog lights on the other cars serve no purpose whatsoever, except that is to burn the retina out of the eyes of other drivers, who would be able to see you just as easily, even in the rain no less, by the use of no other than, yes, you've guessed it, your headlights. Or, in the case of the picture to the left the fact that it is daylight!!

So, an easy way to remember: fog = fog lights. No fog = no fog lights.

And if your are so narcissistic that you must drive around in the day with your fog lights on so that you are noticed, I suggest you stay at home where you will doubtless have larger mirrors
