It was a dark night, on the M4, driving away from london when suddenly it
started to get foggy, thicker and thicker until I slowed down to about 20mph
crawling along.  After half an hour I saw some flashing amber lights in the
central reservation.  One of the Matix signs.  I wondered if there had been
and accident or something.  The sign slowly loomed out of the fog.... closer
and closer until eventually I could see what it said.  It said "Fog" :-|
Usefull Huh ?

Also, driving along the motorway, as fast as I could safely go, that is to
say stopping distance.  There is always people who hurtle past at completely 
unreasnable speeds.  Last night on the M4, 4 Mercs, 2 BMW's and a Range Rover
overtook me, at least 30mph faster.  If there was an accident.. They would
never stop in time.   And why is it only the Mercs etc..?  Even the company
reps in their Sierra has the sense to slow down in those conditions.
