How many times do you think in that time I have needed to use my fog
lights to meet the required 100m visibility guide line?

They don't make fog like they used to. I've done about 30,000 miles a
year from 1980 to 2010 and I really only recollect a couple of occasions
when rear foglights weren't a positive nuisance. OTOH I remember 2
weeks of freezing fog in Leeds in the 1960s when you couldn't see a lamp
post at arm's length.

I'm surprised you did not in those 30 years meet falling snow which
reduced visibility well below 100m. I did just while commuting 16 miles
a day in London!


I suppose I often had a bit of flexibility over travelling times, and we
don't get so much snow in the West of the UK.
