Took a semi to Sydney on Saturday night. As usual the number of fog lights blinding me was well up there... On getting to the M5, I noticed one of those mobile sign boards... "Fog lights are only to be used under adverse conditions... $75 fine" or words close enough to that effect... Thought it was nice to see the RTA making an effort. Coming home last night, got passed by 3 cop cars all running around in clear weather with bloody fog lights ablaze...???

Now to the age old gripe of people not dipping their lights... Between Sydney and Marulan I was getting quite agitated not only that people didn't think to dip their lights but that when I flashed them, they ignored it... I decided to start counting from Marulan to Albury, no less than 43 vehicles who failed to dip their lights. What's was more frustrating was that 31 of them were 4by's with big old spotties on them. After hooking up with my escort(as in a car with flashing lights) at Albury, I started counting again. 3 vehicles who failed to dip even though there appeared to be a relatively equal number of cars about. This is a pattern I've noticed to be fairly consistent over the last 3 or so years that I've been doing this particular Sydney run... Are NSW drivers just stupid or is there a far greater underlying issue...???
