The Fog Light Users Are Back!

The nights are drawing in again and unfortunately the fog light drivers are back. After the light evenings with lights not required; we are back in the sorry state of having to contend with idiots driving with fog lights on all the time. The Highway Code states fog lights are to be used in adverse weather conditions and falling snow. To make matters worse a lot of them have only one light working; increasing the dazzling effect. The police could use their powers to stamp it out; by issuing fix penalty fines on the spot (excuse the pun). Good driving is needed by all drivers as the number of vehicles on our roads increases each year; the correct use of fog lights would be a positive move.

Drink More When You Are Driving

No I'm not being stupid; one of the major causes of lack of concentration and drowsiness is poor hydration. We humans need to maintain hydration of our bodies to be able to work or operate effectively. Drinking fluids is vital, preferably water but any fluid will do; except alcohol. By maintaining our hydration levels we are able to work and concentrate longer; it makes sense when travelling any distance to plan for refreshment breaks. Stopping for 10 - 15 minutes every 90 minutes or so will help keep us fresh mentally, physically and lower stress levels. Next time you stop for the toilet; take on some fluids before getting back in your vehicle. Allowing extra time for any journey will help make the trip more relaxed and enjoyable. It is important to remember that drinking water and soft drinks while driving is not considered good practise; many drivers have found to their cost having been prosecuted for not being in control of their vehicle. Find somewhere safe to stop, either a service area or a lay by, this way you can refresh your body in a secure environment.

Turn off Traffic Lights at Night

With all the hot air coming from Government about "Global Warming" etc; it would help if they took the lead. There are a number of things they could do that would have minimal impact on safety; but a huge impact on energy waste reduction. Wedo not need traffic lights to be on 24 hours a day; travel to mainland Europe and you will find lots of traffic lights are switched off every night from around 8pm. They seem to cope well with this scenario; obviously there are certain junctions where it is important that they stay under traffic light control but not all need to be controlled. It is by making small changes that we can accumulate large savings; not to mention the cash savings with the price of electricity climbing.

Broken Headlights Are Really Dangerous

It's not winter yet and the number of drivers I see with one headlight out is quite staggering. Recently I have had the potentially dangerous experience of meeting vehicles coming towards me with the off-side headlight broken; from a distance these vehicles appear to be motorbikes. Not only is highly dangerous but it is exceedingly selfish; causing other drivers to adjust rapidly at the last minute when the full outline of the vehicle is apparent. It is also unnecessary as for the investment of between £5-£10 will get you a set of spare bulbs from most main dealers or shops like Halfords. Ask yourself this question; is my life worth £10? I think most people will think it is; carry spare bulbs at all times; they take a few minutes to replace. Keep yourself, your passengers and other road users safe at all times; check your lights regularly.
