My headlights were first class

So they bloody should be!

Didn't need mine. Came back in daylight. A68 was indeed rather good this morning, Andy

[alicrozier]

I turned mine off. I couldn't see anything anyway and had lost the will to live by that point.

The cars of some of you northerners would find their own way home anyway!

I remember a drive home from somewhere like Toulouse to Englandshire via the channel tunnel. It rained from slightly north of Toulouse until Calais! On the old tarmac you could do 80 ... on the new "smooth" tarmac, 80 was suicidal ... great

I really was ready to jack it in by the time we reached Paris. Anyone who has driven around the Peripherique might remember the roller coaster sections; the dips were full of water and the cars driving through them on one side were chucking theme-park quantities of water over the central divide!

I noticed the super smooth tarmac on the way up the M74 ... idiocy in a country where it rains pretty much every day

I am not convinced that my car has lights

Cheers,
Robin

They've put similar tarmac on the a71 just outside Shotts. Scared the sh*t out of me the other morning.

The irony is, such Tarmac will be an enviro noise pollution reduction measure.

The fact that it will cost lives is, I imagine, purely incidental to the cause.

Just a bit of drizzle.

Drove this recently in a 1.5t estate car in the dry......can't imagine it'd be noticeable in the wet either....

One of my dad's many rants - as someone who use to run a civil engineering and construction company, he despairs at some of the current ways of thinking. Eco nonsense and crazy over bearing H&S rules are suffocating the industry and it's us who are all paying the price - on many levels.
