Default Fog and baf weather

Well I have to say this morning was probally my worst ride, I couldn't see jack no more 5 m in front of me, my visor misted inside and out and so did my glasses doh! Was a very slow ride home.....

I can' think of better warning about the weather when I saw car crash into a tree, it happened right in front of and me and my work mates and 2 this morning, any way we closed the road and pulled 4 people from a smoking car. They are very lucky to be alive, last car I saw do that the people in it were BBQ.

Please be careful, in this really, really bad weather, take care over xmas guys.

Yeah, the weather is terrible.
Rode most of the way from northampton to bedford at no more than 45, couldn't see much more than the rear fog light on a handy ford focus that drove all the way to cambridge.

don't plan on going out in the fog again.

Yep did the same on the A6 then down the A1, all fog. Could not see the sides of the road along the A6. I had to wipe my visor every 10 seconds because of the damp fog misting.

Sean - good to meet you, you deffo got the award for the furthest travelled! It wasn't foggy going home to Shrewsbury, just a road covered in a yucky mud/salt/crap mix and very low sun.
