Scottish Elises

sitting on the flyover stopped this morning in dense fog, also note the spanner with the black A3 on the inside with no lights on

yeah that fog was a bitch, took me an hour to get into work today!

Saw a muppet who I thought had no lights on at 6.30 in the fog this morning; till I realised both his rear tail lights were out S'pose the cops will catch up with him soone enough.....

Is it more or less dangerous than playing with your mobile whilst driving?!

Discuss?!

See above - stationery traffic!

So how do we know from the pic that the A3 didn't turn the engine (and lights) off instead of sitting idling for no reason?

Good point, and one i think needs further discussion!

Fog in Scumdee was bad this morn too (and still is judging by the view out of my office window) Funny how the roads become busier when it's foggy...

Driving whilst foggy with no lights - dangerous
Using a mobile at the wheel - not so dangerous
Smoking in the car whist using a mobile - combination of the 2, you're making your own fog

He was actually in the outside lane behind myself before we slowed in which he undertook and came to a standstill, maybe he coasted for 2miles prior to stopping...... but then his brakes wouldn't have worked properly.......and his steering lock would have been on (unless he kept the key turned to positon 2 in the ignition so he could listen to the radio)
